The Wheels we got for it, need repaint :) I wanted to get the 16x7J But.. In Portugal its very boring to get wheels legal on the tittle and once we live in Azores the things harder. So we got this 15's from the escort gti to prevent from get some tickeds and MOT's advisorys. :|

Superb Puma. What a shame that you can't fit bigger wheels, even though it will look good on those Escort wheels too :D

Thanks JiiHu ! I did a test fit the wheels, they may need some spacers, or i just might find another wheels :p

Those Borbet bottgers look great. If I were you, I would choose them and paint them with some nice colour, maybe half-matt black/dark grey.

Yes, i think that would look cool, with some "RS" center caps. This had center caps but... thiefs.. :roll: we was thinking to get some Speedline Comp 2 15'' but, for now we want to see if a good deal comes up. The new black - purple badges arrived, will try to fit and get some pics here later :thumbs: Shame wasn't gel badges because dmb refuses to ship them for Portugal, dont know why.


Some pics with on mine with the center caps:

And, for now thats it! :thumbs:
 
Wow! Really good work and lots and lots of effort! :clap:

I have mondy rear mirror to be installed as well. Would you say it is worth the effort? And how did you secure it to the windscreen? Did you glue something on that profiled aluminum that would catch the part of window in mondeo?
 
Top job, it really is a good selection of little tweaks, I especially like the head unit, I'll have to keep an eye out for one of those. In my humble opinion the Borbets looked better on the car, I think they suit it better, and those Axe wheels are just too cool, whichever car they're on, love them.

One quick question, do you happen to know what brand those side skirts are, or where I can get some? I don't usually like body stuff for the Pumas but I think they're quite understated and fit well.

Anyway, again, nice work :eek:k:

Thank you :) My boyfriend and i went to ford and bought oem Glue, but wasn't good enough. So we used this one and worked fine, seems to be a good and strong glue.

And yes, worth the effort, its really nice at night using this mondeo mirror.
