Ford Puma Centre Console Replacement Parts

The Ford Puma (1997–2002) is a front-wheel-drive coupé based on the Fiesta platform, and in most standard variants it did not have a traditional enclosed centre console with a lidded armrest box — the interior typically features an open central tray or cubby area between the seats rather than a full console unit. What you may actually be looking for is the gear surround trim panel, the central storage tray, or the handbrake gaiter assembly, all of which are available as used parts from breakers. If you have seen a console-style unit in another Puma, it may be an aftermarket addition or an accessory fit, so describe exactly what you need to your breaker and they can advise what genuine Ford parts are available for your registration.

The Ford Puma received a facelift around 2000, which brought some interior trim updates, so there is a reasonable chance that central trim pieces differ between the pre-facelift (1997–1999) and facelift (2000–2002) cars. Confirm the exact part with your breaker against your registration number before buying, as subtle differences in the surround shape, colour, or fixings could mean a pre-facelift piece does not sit flush in a facelift car. A good breaker will be able to cross-reference the part from a donor car of the same year as yours.

For the open-tray and gear surround style central trim found on the Puma, trim level is unlikely to cause a mechanical fitment problem, though you may see cosmetic differences in finish, colour, or material quality between a base-spec car and a higher-spec Zetec model. The Racing Puma was a low-volume performance variant with its own interior changes, so if you own one, confirm parts compatibility with your breaker specifically against your registration. For standard Puma variants, focus on matching the model year rather than the trim level, and expect that minor cosmetic differences may be visible even on a correctly fitting piece.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the exact model year and specification of your car, and describe precisely which piece you need — for example, the gear lever surround, the handbrake gaiter trim, or the central storage tray — as these are separate parts that are sometimes loosely grouped under 'centre console.' Mentioning the interior colour is also helpful, since a mismatched trim piece will be obvious in the cabin. The more specific you can be, the better chance the breaker has of finding a correct, well-matched used part.

The Puma's interior layout, derived from the 1990s Fiesta platform, simply did not include a full lidded console box as standard factory equipment on this model — it was not an option that Ford offered across the range in the way that larger cars of the era sometimes featured. This means genuine Ford lidded console units for the Puma do not exist as a used OEM part, and listings for one are likely to be aftermarket accessories. If you want to add storage to the centre of the cabin, an aftermarket console kit is your most practical route, and your breaker can still help you source the original trim pieces that surround the gearlever and handbrake.
