Im not far from leeds and huddersfield, basically if you look at the map am slap bang in the middle of bradford leeds and huddersfield. Im really glad i bought my puma now, i passed my test about 4 or 5 months ago and my first car was a corsa gsi, amazing car it was, it decided to play up in any way it wanted whenever it felt like it, i myself working with cars couldnt sort it took it to various mechanics kept playing up, saw the red puma with its wide arches and fell in love, biggest grin ive had since the first time i drove after passing my test

Welcome to Pumapeople!

That kat's got a cheeky grin. Are those Ford Racing front wings?

yes they are from an frp from what ive managed to find out they where put on by a company called puma speed in leeds, but not 100% sure. The car has had a lot of work done on it, its had the racing mirrors put on it racing arches. An attempt at styling the interior similar, by painting the steeringwheel red in places lol its even got the wheels

. Still triyng to find out more about whats been done to it. Its all been done very well though, and they are the proper metal arches not some plastic kit, plus under the bonnet you can see a slight bit of the racing puma colour paint where the wing bolts on.

Pumaspeed are Puma specialists and are well known and respected on this forum.

Those FRP wings are aluminium, so they won't rust. They'll be softer than steel though, so be careful with them (they cost a fortune to replace).

Why not upload a few pics to the Pumapeople gallery. Someone here might be able to tell you more about the car's history.

I'll take some tomorrow and upload them, if i was bold enough i could go round to the old owners house and knock on his door and ask, lol but im not like that. He lives about 30seconds round the corner from me if though so im sure ill bump into him eventually and ill ask him what he knows. Love the car to bits though, so did my insurance company when they qouted me on it too
