Before:



After:



The covers I found, 5/8", are not an exact fit so I used a bit of poster "stickum" to make sure they'd stay put. Still searching for a better solution.

I went to their site but couldn't find anything listed for the smart. Do you have a specific link/recommendation? Thanks.

They're not listed by vehicle. You need m12 x 1.5 bolts. Not sure of the length.
