For a UK spec Brab it was either black OR silver, so that would of been a one off, either at the time of order or as an aftermarket mod.

But remember we didn't receive every spec of smart in the UK.

At the time of ordering (an all silver model) they could have specified a panel change.
There was nothing to stop that....whatever the customer wanted and was prepared to pay for basically.

Or...they could have had the panels sprayed after/later.....it's not unheard of.
Kate of Wellsmart had her diesel resprayed a semi dark pink metallic , and then later had it resprayed
again to a sort of bronze/gold metallic....(and gun metal gray coloured Monoblock 'A's)
One mustn't forget Roberts ALL metallic green ForFour.....every panel, and the tridion, and all the trim pieces.
(such as dial trims, door handles etc etc....)

There are some people who just buy a car, with the bits they want added at the time...drive them...then sell them
without ever opening the bonnet themselves. So yes, there are lots of cars out there that could do with TLC.
I'd count my Brab ForTwo amongst them ! !  I haven't washed it in 6 months or more..or vacuumed the inside
either....it gets used daily....(and it's black...yeeuuckkk !...but the price was right when I bought it)

Does the 3 seat rear bench split fold, tumble and tilt like the regular 2 seat one?  Has it got ISOFIX?

I read a review where they mentioned the 2 seat bench was preferable as the seats were more comfortable, but from that picture it looks like you get the benefit on an extra seat belt and head rest, with no drawbacks.

The Brabus was the only forfour to have ISOFIX as standard. As the name of the car suggests, it was built with the intention of four persons; ISOFIX was an option, as was the third belt.
