it used to look like this.
and now i have had new inspiration to make a unique puma it is looking alot different.
the wheels and seats were first. the seats i found on here and brought them off another PP member this got my started on my red and black theme.
i got myself a nice steerinf wheel and boss
fitted hoses and sprayed a few engine bay parts.
few small touches like gear gators, gear knob, and soem fresh tyres

iv always liked my ice anyway so i thought it would be the natural choice to do a simple install untill i get time to bring the fibreglass out
i got the bug for trimming and quite enjoyed it so over over the past few months have been trimming various other bits of the car too also managed to complete my custom door cards with audio pods and a fully flocked interior to suit
the spare dash i had i smoothed out the passenger side compartment where the airbad would normally be as i dont have an airbag anyway and also smoothed out the ashtray compartment too as i wont be smoking with this interior in thats for sure
as you can see in the above 2 pictures i have covered the steering column surround, covered the fuse box cover and covered the mirror adjusters on the doors as well as the electric window switches
think thats all for now but there are more changes coming soon as iv just got a sponsor to supply me some new audio for the whole car for free
also changing the rear bumper, making some adjustments to the front bumper, extending the bonnet and smoothing the tailgate as well as fitting coilovers and getting it lower interior is nearly done now the only thing i will need to do is build a fibreglass boot install when i get time but im in no rush to do that

The car looks great and in my eyes anyway much improved and more 21st Century, can I ask how did you do the flocking on the dash and door panels ?
Been thinking about that approach myself but didn't know how or where to get it done ?
BTW what colour are your alloys sprayed ?
Thanks

the wheels are powder coated not sprayed and they are metallic red. not sure on the exact colour as i just picked a sample i liked and had them done.
the flocking is electro static method and is quite expensive for what it is but well worth it in my eyes. they cover with glue, blast the fibres over the glue and then charge the fibres which makes them stand on end and gives the flocked effect. there are loads of companies that do this if you look for them but i happen to know someone local who does this.

however if you do mean headrests on the seats then im afraid i cant help as i brought the seats that way
as for the flocking i really as not too sure. i paid for everything to be done not just the dash individually but i would say jay isnt far off. i paid £450 for my dash, the front door cards, my rear door cards, my parcel shelf, all the vents, cd surround, glove box lid etc as well as the small clips that cover the seat bolts down the side of the chairs an stuff but well worth it in my view
