has anybody tried to move the aircon vents on the puma

so ive been thinking (since i live in a hot country) its a bit silly that the only aircon vents are all clustered in the middle , would be great to have the two outer vents moved where the tweeters are (the tweeters can go up onto the a pillar ) and the middle vents become standard movable vents and a little wider ( or a phone or drink holder in place) .
has anybody done this?
think its possible?

any ideas?

There are vents at the end of your dash for demising that work quite well in my 110 ... if you feel that it may be needed then look at re-directing these to push the air forward and block the outlet from the central vents to see if this works ...

I prefer to have the centre vents as they push the air up and over into the back of the vehicle circulating the air, but thats my presence only !

Anything is possible. But I think doing this and making it look professional is going to be a massive task. The ducts through to the side window de-misters are quite small because there isn't much space behind there to put larger ones in.

Adding acoustic/thermal insulation (4mm foil covered foam) into the vehicle helps at lot, as does fitting the later type lower door seals if you don't have them already.

as noted above trying to do a decent job of it would not be easy.

I'd consider all other options first - if heat really is a problem look at installing one of these perhaps;

or a fridge in the back with the lid left open.
