You need some X and O Magnets that live under on the cover. You can use them while the cover is off as well. Just one more thing in your bag of tricks at shows.

Ah, mine is black. I thought it blended better with the metallic blue and didn't stand out as much.

I was going by what smart said on their web site:

"Regarding rust, the smart fortwo’s steel body is fully zinc plated. As a further provision against corrosion, there is a coat of cataphoretic paint under the main powder-coat paint, and all body cavities are preserved by a special agent. Finally, the body panels and complete underbody are made of plastic (polypropylene), which are not prone to rust even if scratched."
