Ah fuck knows. Only use a flat bit anyway so presume it won't matter.

Is it the sport type wings or the non sport type 206 wings that are a good match?

Spotted your post on there, didn't realise you we're on here.

Got a N/S 206 wing on way to see how it would fit.

I just recently got a load of these shipped over from Germany, they match the Puma arch perfectly:









The 206 wings are good, but the profile is slightly off - you can tell (but only if you know what you're looking for).

I've got a spare pair - £63.17 + postage thanks to the group buy I arranged on Project Puma:

You wouldn't get much change from £100 normally. May consider splitting the pair £35+postage for one side.

Yes you can use 206 front wings, depends on how much you are needing to replace, if its just small patches it may be better to just repair with suitable bits of metal.

Remember its the opposite front wing of the 206 to the rear of the puma you need

Seems you are right Mr G! Ill get a wing priced up then. Never heard that before, just found a thread for it on another site, looks to fit well.

I've heard this too! Aren't the 206's galvinised or something?

Ahh. I want a Fiesta Zetec S instead with knackered engine to swap it all over. Puma is so gay :(

They probably compound the issue yeah, all the rusting though goes on on that seam


AndyCorsaSport

posted on 28th Apr 13 at 14:16

Ah right, thought it was the wheel arch liners too? With them been carpet, holding water?


Steve

posted on 28th Apr 13 at 13:03

Yeah its caused by the seam on the inner side of the skin, make sure when youve done it seal it properly from the inside behind the rear door card

Yeah only ones are the German ones Steve? Fuck paying that much, passenger side is about 1" so can cut that out and make my own square, drivers side is whole way down, looks like ill have to make my own then eh!

second hand wings will have rust in them, if not visible externally yet, it will be coming through at any moment

none really available, repairs are mainly done by re-constructions, only weld in fresh metal though, some people try and use filler and it comes back in a few months
