Used Ford Puma Door Handle

The Ford Puma was produced as a single generation from 1997 to 2002, so door handles from any car within that 1997–2002 range are the ones to look for. Always confirm the side (NS for nearside/passenger or OS for offside/driver) when requesting a quote from a breaker, as the two sides are not interchangeable.

Both fall within the same 1997–2002 generation, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but confirm with the breaker against your registration before purchasing as minor running changes can affect fitment across the production run. Make sure you specify NS or OS, as handles are side-specific.

Colour is not a fitment concern — a handle from any colour Puma will fit the same way, and plastic handles can be resprayed or colour-coded by a body shop to match your car. Focus on getting the correct side (NS or OS) rather than worrying about matching the donor car's colour.

Trim level does not generally affect door handle fitment on the Ford Puma — the handle fits the door frame, not the engine or specification level. There may be minor cosmetic differences between handles from different trim levels, such as chrome versus body-coloured finishes, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can match the appearance as closely as possible.

The Ford Puma was offered as a 3-door coupé throughout its 1997–2002 production run, so door count is not a variable you need to worry about when sourcing a handle for this model. You do still need to specify the correct side — NS (nearside, passenger/left) or OS (offside, driver/right) — as these are not interchangeable.

The Ford Puma ran as a single generation from 1997 to 2002 without a significant structural facelift that is known to have changed door handle fitment, making year-to-year compatibility within that range plausible. That said, confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker, as minor running changes during production can sometimes affect fitment in ways that are not widely documented.
