Hi everyone have just repaired my rear rusty(bubbled up) wheel arches & was surfing for some wheel arch decals & found Project Puma by accident. I own a 2000 Silver 1.7 model-I bought it after first owner had it for 3 years & 30,000 miles...........I have now had it for ten years(SORNED last 2) & only had to replace all 4 shock absorbers as 2 were leaking-& that's it. Now at 68,000 miles.Well I am medically retired-hence low milage.
I have seen this rust problem on other Pumas but not ALL. Did not want to spend £200 on a 13 year old car so drilled out the rust myself,then filled with P40 & topped with easy sand. Being lazy & tight I thought the easiest & cheapest way to go would be wheel arch decals-but there appears to be no such thing.Anyone any ideas?i may hand paint something myself?
One last concern while I am here I seem to have developed a mysterious noise from the rear right-I do not think its the wheel bearing?Thought it was parcel shelf on the window?Cross between squeaking or knocking-maybe related to wheel arch repair?Anyone had anything similar?It was not there before I SORNED IT.Coil spring?
All suggestions greatfully received as these 2 things let the car down now.Thank you.
