What common additions to puma's are there?

Mudflaps?
Sill Protectors?

anything else that looks good (not chavvy) to freshen up the car that are fairly common?

I guess every one has thir opinions on what looks good and doesn;t!

spoilers are a good source of discussion!

Would be an idea to put in a K&N panel filter next time air filter is serviced.

Another subtle mod is to remove indicator diffuser &and fit a blue buld that flashes yellow!

Sill protectors are rust traps.

Subtle spoilers look good, MS Designs spoiler on mine.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO -What a Ride!:D

Wind deflectors on the door windows?

I've been thinking about getting them but never got around to it. You could keep them black or maybe paint them the car's colour.

Hmm temp clock looks expensive, but glove box lamp, and 2nd boot light will be added to the list. Im also thinking led's on door card to illuminate floor when door is open.

Silver, I'll be putting smoked tinted side indicator lenses on, and possibly smoked lenses on the rear indicators but i think it might be ott.

for the winter i think ill stick with tidying up the interior as much as possible and maybe a subtle sticker or two from pistonheads.

Ill Sort out the headlamp bumps slowly aswell, (done dipped beam already) with ones that look white instead of the dodgy colour they seem to be now including the sidelights.

ahhh. i was like, huh! a blue light that flashes orange? wtf? lol

The smoked side repeaters on a silver kat is a must! i've done it and it looks far better than an orange block!

The temp clock is i believe written up in the wiki. Not an expensive mod as the clock and sensor are sourced from scrappies from a fiesta. I'll do it when i can be bothered,lol.

The 2nd boot light is the fastest, easiest and most convenient mod i've done. so simple but makes things so much easier at night if the shopping is blocking the light on 1 side etc.

That will be the Osram "Diadem" bulbs, look like it has a very feint finish like "petrol floating on water".

These are the cheapest I've seen them £9.99 a pair, delivered:
http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item53de915335

But I've just bought these Xtec £5.99 pair + £2.00 postage, delivered:
http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item3353945942

I also got side repeater bulbs (501) like this (I can just see the effect through my clear lenses when not flashing), £4.99 + £2.50 postage:
http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item5632fe7d4d

Postage gets cheaper the more you buy, it cost £2.50 for both sets of the above.

ooooo how strange. never seen or heard of them before!

Those 501's, are they ok to use with the clear/smoked side repeaters? im guessing they flash an orange colour?
