Smart Forfour Tuning by Königseder.
The model of Smart Forfour is the keystone for worldwide lesser-known modifier – Königseder tuning company. It created a collection of aerodynamic acessories, which in cooperation with typical „SMART-ish“ two-color paint are like the work of art.
The set consists of a front panel – a slightly modified stock bumper, a sporting front grill and a hood. And about the hood -you can see two holes on the first sight. But they aren’t here only for fun, they assists in cooling and ventilating the engine area.
Also their design is creating more aggressive look of front part of the car. A high-spot of the hood is its opening. It’s vice-versa compared to the stock model.
The line of body sills continues in wide stock undershields. Big openings on body sills are dominant and they are on 3 of sill‘s area. Thanks to them, the air cooling of brakes is now more efficient.
Bottom part is simply untouched. Only one change is here compared to the stock model – sporting exhaust tip.
