Ford Puma
Just got the Mrs a Puma 1.7! 02 plate, in panther black muck 'n shit attractant colour, same as my Focus 
It hasnt got those horrid propellor alloy wheels either, it's got some ford multi spoke ones instead that look well tasty
got a couple of questions.
It's got a dog-shit panasonic head unit in it at the moment, i'm assuming this isn't standard fit? I've got a JVC KD-SH909R (Damn good head unit
) i'm going to bang in there in it's place, but the speakers will probably be gutless
How easy is it to replace the standard ford door speakers? Can i just go and buy some from Halfrauds that'll be a straight swap, or do i have to change the cabling etc??
Also, 6x9s in the shelf? Cutting the holes shouldnt be too difficult, i'm just curious as to how they wire up, as there's no existing 6x9s there. Is it a pain the arse job, not worth bothering with? Am i best sticking with changing the door speakers only? Done head units before but never messed with speakers
She's been and picked it up today so i'm not entirely sure if it has rear speakers at all as she's not home yet - has anyone got one and can shed some light on what it's got?? Forgot to check when we test drove it
Am i right in assuming that the 1.7 engine is a bored-out version of the 1.6 unit from the Fiesta Zetec-S?? Struggling to think of any other ford's that have had a 1.7 engine in recent years
I never thought i'd see the day when my mrs was driving a (quote) "shitty ford" (unquote)... the amount of stick i've had about my Focus from her

The HU will go straight in, the front door speakers are 5 1/2 inch so theres plenty of aftermarket speakers to choose from. As for 6*9's dont bother, the puma shelf is weak as it is, without the weight of them!!
Just put some good 3 way speakers in the rear quaters (sp.) then it'll all look factory!

Don't actually know what model Puma it is other than a 1.7 (The improved alloys made me think it was an end of range model with stuff banged on), as the thunder special edition had leather/cd changer, and ours hasnt.need to investigate further

It'll be a millenium or thunder edition if itd got spoked wheels rather than the propellors. Have a gander on www.pumapeople.com I found it a bit clicky, but there's loads of info on there. Learnt how to reconstuct the front end of my missus's puma from there!

i looked here http://www.puma-web.co.uk/
Definitely not a thunder or a millenium...i think it's just a standard 1.7i tbh.
The millenium was only sold in yellow, and the thunder comes with leather and 6CD as standard. the V5 says Ford Puma 1.7i (shes just got back with it now, looks fuckin mint!)
its got these wheels on here
but ours is black!
