My Maserati is out of commission for a while so I bought a Smart

As the title says, a thief stole the car and insurance isn’t helpful so I’ll be repairing it myself as it’s the last thing I have from my late father and it will take some time to repair. I bought a Smart Forfour as a small city car in the mean time but the vibes are off so I’m trying to mod it as well make a little Smartarati. So there’s the damage to the Maserati, gonna be around 20K in repairs, I’m managing it I’ve also made a little TikTok account to post about the repairs while it’s going on hahaha not self promoting hopefully as I am not sharing any links to the account, so there’s the smart car came with black seats I found some red leather seats and door cards and I’ve swapped them out to resemble the Maserati Also done a black Alcantara headliner to resemble the Maserati. Open to suggestions I’ll be doing the dashboard as well exterior mods to come as well

My little project car

I've got a smart 454 that I've slowly been modifying so far I've done since I have too much time on my hands atm.

- Mercedes style air vents
- Red Leather Interior
- Alcantara Headliner and pillars
- Android Carplay unit
- Aluminum Pedals & new Shifter knob
- Electrically Adjustable Mirrors
- Armrest
- Fully Led Headlights

Still planning:
- All the grey interior panels painted black
- All the silver trim wrapped with brushed aluminum
- Cruise Control
- Heated Seats

Engine wise:
1.5 N/A 109HP 4A91 engine - I've seen the engine still being used on Chinese cars with a turbo installed stock so I'd like to put a turbo in and get around 160hp
Transmission: still the 5 speed if anyone knows if I can put the 6 speed amt and keep the clutch? If not I'll be ordering a transmission off the Chinese car that has a 6 speed manual transmission.
