I found it on evolutions website:

Does anyone know much about these?

It's been nearly 2 years, and over 40,000 new posts have been made since. And I've still got the same car. My '08 Passion.
For those that don't know me, I'm Steve. For those who do, have probably...
Is my story too boring for you 2?
The story continues...
The car was returned today. Seems ok. Car was 'cleaned' although not to my own standards. The doors locks seem to be behaving now, but they couldn't find a fault with the...
Hello. Haven't been here in a while. Looks like someone's redecorated.
Well, here goes another story from an unhappy smartee...
Booked my car in for a service at Mercedes Ridgeway at...
As it happens, I know such a switch exists which is why I suggested it. But I'm not interested in whether the switch will work, as the whole thing will be specially made in the end. I just need to...
Not necessarily. I have contacts (excuse the pun).
Ok, sorry. I must've been tired. The switch probably exists, but it'll take some searching. If I can pull this off, I may even get one made bespoke.
My manual is in the car at the mo', and...
How is that an oxymoron? The electronics may be contact-less, but I can't avoid a mechanical movement, lever, dial, or otherwise. But that is not important at this stage, anyhow.
I was under the...
Are you talking about American Smarts?
The 451 has to be in neutral to remove the key. It only seems natural to reproduce this in whatever mechanism I end up using.
I'm hoping to find a dial (or otherwise) switch that will also be...
This one? http://www.carid.com/smart-car-lambo-doors/
Yeah, that's it.
If I'm correct, the Hall sensors (along with the other electronics on the pcb), create a digital on/off mode, acting more like switches. So it may be possible to by-pass the pcb altogether and use...
I'm one of the few that has had zero* problems with the 451 84bhp Passion. I'm even getting 50-55mpg (over 60 on a long run) without even trying and have found the fuel gauge perfectly accurate,...
I wanna do a modification to my 451, and would any technical input as to whether it's possible and any tips.
I'd like to get rid of the center console with the ignition switch and gear-stick, and...

Here is a summary of events thus far:
The dealer (smart of Poole) have given me a new set of alloys, but only after I threatened them with legal action. The Mercedes representative asked if I was...
These are now sold.
Does anyone know if these will fit a ForFour? Someone has asked me and I don't know.
I totally agree. I think they dropped the wrong model. They should have kept the Pure and dropped the Pulse. And given the Passion extras like electric mirrors and an alarm. The CDi would have...
I'm not a mechanic but maybe it was an injector problem. As the car wouldn't do anything (revving or gears), it suggests it knew there was a problem.
