Forum opener.

Well seeing as this forum has been empty a while I thought I would share the ideas I once had for my Puma and hence the reason ProjectPuma.com was originally created (to track the progress).

I love the idea of owning an FRP but I also love my Puma so my thinking was to combine the two ideas. After having a chat with a few replica owners this started giving me ideas for a wide arch melina blue frp replica.

And so the parts list grew to the following:

Part list and location.

Ford Puma Wide Arch FRP Bodykit (7 Pieces)

# 7 piece kit
# front and rear bumpers
# 2 front wings
# 2 rear wings
# 1 front splitter blade

So.. if anyone else has this idea, the above parts list should be quite sufficient!

If you do start though please be sure to start a thread about it!!

Do it then!!

Cheaper to sell yours and buy an FRP though! :lol:

Well over £5K of mods...

Yeah this is what stumped the project the fact the i planned the wide arch kit first at around £3k but then as its my daily drive too i would have to drive with standard track on 15" wheels until i could afford to get the sorted.

Jacko probably has all the parts you need in his garage k:

Why not just up the power and prowess and leave the looks as standard?

I'm always split between standard and wiiiide.

Plus moving into my own place put a stop to those ideas anyway!
