My new puma :D

[adampuma]

New custom resonator and polyurethane hangers fitted, now sounds as it should! Also added a creepy picture of my friend lol

Bonnet was damaged by roof tiles a few weeks back, uneconomical to repair £500+
So found a bonnet online and collected/fitted this morning, obviously it will be repainted to match the car in a few weeks.
Anyway pics!

You can drive in UK with parts of car in different colour? It is prohibited here…. :?:

There is a Golf around the corner from me and every single panel is a different colour, god knows what it says on the log book.

So no two tone citroen DS 3's in Croatia then?

Banned different colour panels?! Wonder why they have that rule? Surely its about safety, not colour! Crazyness

No, it is ok if the car is homogated with such option. Every panel on car must meet the colour stated in car documents

That bonnet looks strangely nice with that body colour.....

 

[adampuma]

It does slightly upset me when i look at it- but I just think as least its not red! Got it booked into a bodyshop for a top notch respray at the cost of £300 for 10th december,going to proper skint me out but my puma deserves it
will post pic updates etc

Have you asked IanG if he has any replacements? Much cheaper than £300 for sure

Ian was my first port of call, he doesnt have anything, i did go look at a £300 cuirass puma in london only to find out the bonnet was riddled with stonechips :/

 

[alexwilliams840]

Damn, thats unfortunate car looks great by the way!

 

[adampuma]

Even with the silver bonnet?! Lol thanks pal, i feel sorry for it at the moment but i cant control the weather destroying my car

 

[alexwilliams840]

haha maybe ignore the bonnet, winter is a killer, especially when they get the gritters out
