Sorry mate - didn't see it

My car was fully polybushed and had fairly hard suspension. That coupled with the 17s and 40 profile tyres meant it was like a skateboard. An FRP was softer in my experience.

If I do go 17s again, I'll not be polybushing it as that adds quite a bit of harshness IMO.

My frp when I first got it earlier this year. Sadly I think I'm going to be breaking it up in the next few weeks to fund my Frst project.

Why break it? Is there something catastrophically wrong with it?

Needs some rust sorting out on the rear and a few other small bits and pieces. Choice between the frp and the fiesta turbo to keep as a project now I have a littleun. Fiesta wins for me, miss boost!

As anyone got a spare screw cover spare.The one that looks like a triange and goes next to the heater vents inside the car.

I also need the yellow bit the bonnet stay sits in when the bonnet is open.

On the Nurburgring it's great. Unfortunately the UK roads are anything but smooth and can snap your hand about a bit mid corner.

The Puma was praised at launch for it's handling and responsiveness on 15s. Running 17s does compromise it's inherent handling somewhat IMO.

I think 16's with a drop is about the best compromise. Tyre selection is essential of course

I might try 2 of my Momo Arrow wheels that the wife has on her focus on the puma and see what it looks like.

I think the mondy 16inch 5 spokes look mint of the pumas.

Is it the Escos 5 spokes that are slightly wider than the mondy 5's? 8" width?

Please, please, PLEASE DON'T break it up, they're rare enough as it is without any more getting needlessly broken.

It's going! I doubt anyone would want it as it is now for similar money that I could break it for.
I'm not going to spend a grand or two making it mint again just to sell it.
The interior was sold months back anyway so more hassle than it's worth.
