Has any one had this happen? I ran over a piece of steel leaf spring and poked a hole in the plastic under pan below the radiator. My questions are this. Is the under pan all one piece? What is the best way to jack up the car? Any one find one jack type that is better than another? I am ticked because I only have 500 miles on the car.

I bought a brand new Bilstein jack for an Audi A4 off of eBay - it also is used on many other cars - the VW Jetta and Rabbit, I think. It is a screw-lever design and works perfectly for the smart. It folds down flat to a small compact package that I store in the rear hatch storage along with a breaker bar, 15mm socket, a blanket and a Nealey tire repair kit. I think it was under $20 including shipping.
IIRC the underpan is all one piece and is held in place by clips similiar to body-panel clips - pop clips.

The fan that kicks on back in the engine compartment is a blower that blows air into the exhaust to warm up the catalytic converter. Reason being is this is an ultra low emission vehicle. This usually runs for just 20-30 seconds and then shuts off.
