Got these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003H6XUA6/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1 last summer when I had my Corsa and have them lying around ever since. I've had a quick look around the forum and it seems some people say they'll fit, some say they won't, and its clear if they don't then I can make some modifications on the door panels to fit them. The depth says its 61mm and I believe there's clearance for about 63/64mm.
Is it just a case of marking out the size, cutting it and ensuring theres hole available to screw into, my main worry is although depth it should be fine, the front grill cover of the door may be resting on the speaker causing an audible bbbzzzz. Might just line it up and make a judgement call tbh, not like it takes long to remove the door panels!

I'll be looking to fiddle around this weekend so either way I'll probably have a go and post an update if anyones interested.

Secondly, the Head Unit I had in my Focus worked with stalk control and I've seen that it is possible to mod that into the Puma, and I've just bought a new HU http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-in-phase-ips-249bt_p-27545.htm as my JVC is knackered and I need a hands free option and for that price I can't really argue. So is it "difficult" to mod in the stalk control?
 
I had to cut the hole a little larger for mine to fit. Also they did catch door card, so I glued some wooden spacers around speaker hole to lift the card in that area. Works fine now.
