No where near as much fun as Puma! Im looking to get another Puma would prefer Thunder model in grey.
Has anyone come up with a permanent fix for wheel arch rust? Can those mat things in arches br removed & arches rust proofed & sealed?
Thanks

my plan is to sand it back a bit,paint with some kind of rust protection and as its a pretty old car ive just order sonme of these,will post pics of before and after when i get around to doing it.
i think it will look pretty cool on my black with all four arches done,cheers,might even look a bit like the FRP />

You're just in time, and just in luck - I'll be placing the order for our group buy on custom-made arch replacements from Germany early next week, and I have one set left (at the lowest price, as units from 21 on are subject to an additional shipping charge due to weight) as someone just dropped out yesterday.
More info here:
http://www.projectpu...hp?f=65&t=19805
You'll need to send me £53.80 either by bank transfer or PayPal (if paying by PayPal you will need to send £56.13 as PayPal will take a commission).
That will pay for the manufacture and delivery of your set to me in Reading. Then we'll need to figure out how to get them to you. Many people participating are close to areas I travel to frequently anyway, or are regulars on the show scene so I will deliver them personally. Depending on where you are I may have to courier them to you at additional cost to yourself - I'd expect to get change from a tenner, though.
Bear in mind that these are just sheets of steel cut to fit, with a lip that exactly matches the Puma arch. The old, rusty metal will need to be cut out, and this new piece welded on, then it will need to be sanded, primed and repainted - budget for £250-300 per side, or around £500 if you get both done at the same time and be pleasantly surprised if you get some change.
Regards,
Rob

I need to sort my rear wheel arches on my Y reg 1.7 that ive owned since new and am looking to get it done with metal versus filler.
Is the Peugeot 206 front wing replacement for a particular year of 206 please?
Im trying to make sure i dont order the wrong ones. Any tips or advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Wow, they do all sorts of sill and panel parts.
Thanks for that!
here is a link for those interested : https://www.steelpan...e-puma-97-2002/
