I like it, but the work was done by pumaspeed, and not to a good standard so I hear ;)

So for that reason, I wouldn't buy it :rolleyes:

I remember seeing a thread that the owner had spent over £12k buying it and the whole thing is a bodge. :o

Will try and find the post.

Always liked that kit, shame about the quality of work that went into building the car. Expect it would fall apart and catch fire if pushed :aaah:

Pumaspeed did a lot of work on my focus ST, and i never had any probs with them at all.

But for 36k i'd expect perfection, which that clearly isn't :oooh:

Don't like that at all - proportions look all wrong and what's going on with the plenum, throttle body and that gnarly bit of silicone hose ?
Nothing to see here...

Everything looks cool accept the horrid boot, no mk6 fez looks good with a full smooth boot.
