Not much updates as on its last MOT the floor needed a lot of welding, so was going to sell it this spring but after having it looked the other week we thing the rest of it is fine.
So going to keep it.
Got some parts lined up for it
ST150 front brakes
Set of fan blade puma wheels (to be painted before fitting)
Cat back system
And just fitted this
Was a swap for a spare leather wheel I had

Hi there.
Like your car vinyl wrapped and I am considering doing my Puma in matte mid blue metallic and am wondering the following:
1 how many metres of wrap did you use, how much and where from ?
2 did you remove any items such as bumpers ?
3 did you have do do any of the panels with a join in ( I am thinking back bumper registration recess ) ?
4 what order did you do it in ?
5 how did you tackle the complicated rear hatch shape ?
Thanks
Dave W.

Sorry only just seen this.
Can't remember how much we used. But it as a lot, I think the roll was 5 or 6 ft high. But we wasted a whole side so when working out the size make sure you got extra for waste.
Bumbers when left on but lights, top of door frames and all other trim was removed
The boot lid had a join as its it's almost impossible to do.
The back bumber was around 9 hours of work.
Do the sides 1st then roof and work down

A little update. Over the past few months I have made a few more changes
Swapped the door mirrors for a black set and changed the headlight
Homan race tube to go with my 4" back box and got my local workshop to fit them
Also time to clean up my wheels and paint them black
Still need to get hold of a few 9 spoke centre caps, if any one as some drop me a line.
Also a little sticker for Ford Fair

Now fitted a contact 2 iPod like, very happy that it charges and plays music for both my old classic (uses the old style 30pin) my touch (uses now style 30 pin)
Also with the adapter works with my iPhone 5, even plays the sat nav apps through the speakers

Sorry for that lack of progress, but with getting married this year that's taking up my time and money.
Bit of servicing with filter and oil.
Had to repaint the rear wheels as they started to flake off over the winter.
Painted the nuts black to match the wheels and at long last 4 matching center caps (not sure if they will stay like that)
A few months ago I had to get a new set if front tyres, after getting a good deal I got a set of Dunlop Sport blue, very good in the dry and wet
But this week the biggest change of the year a front brake upgrade. Had a set of Fiesta ST calipers sat in the shed for some time.
A sand down, quick bit of blue paint and a lot of pain (thanks to a stuck nut)
They are fitted, with some MTEC disks and Brembo pads.
Next job is to fit the 6x9s in the rear bins

Just fitted a set of JBL 6x9 in the rear speaker bins.Sound so much better and well worth doing.Also manage to get a the clips and bolts fitted (some of them have been missing since before I got the car)
Sorry no pics with this update. Forgot to take any before fitting

Dod you swap the pins (75 and 80 IIRC) and retain the temp gauge functionality?
