Puma Style Bonnet for Land Rover Defender - Reinforced (Double Skin) GRP Fibreglass
See optional extras below
WARNING: As this bonnet is made of much lighter GRP (Fibreglass), it is not as strong as the steel Land Rover bonnets. Therefore we advise that during use, please be careful when you shut the bonnet and do not slam it shut.
PLEASE NOTE: This Defender Puma bonnet has a black gel coat (RAL 9005) as standard however will require suitable preparation - some filling, priming and final painting. When painting do not bake at too high a temperature as the bonnet is made of GRP. We do not recommend fitting as is.
- This aftermarket Land Rover Defender Puma Bonnet is made of Glass Reinforced Plastic with steel fixtures for the original fasteners; it is durable and flexible for heavy use.
- It is light-weight compared to original aluminium Defender bonnets - the net weight is 10kg.
- Noise transmission is much less than the aluminium versions. It will reduce the engine noise.
REVIEW
"I was very pleased to receive my Puma style reinforced plastic bonnet which arrived yesterday. Seldom have I seen such a well wrapped and protected purchase. To my delight the bonnet was in perfect condition. I had anticipated that time would be required to fill minor holes and finish off the surfaces for paint preparation . However, there is no work at all to be done on the top or underside and, since my final colour will be Land Rover Java Black, I am tempted to fit the bonnet without painting. The finish is just so good that I would require an expert to tell that the part had not been fully painted. I discussed the need to paint with Ferzan in your technical department who was extremely helpful, patient and a fine ambassador for your company. In short, this was an excellent purchase of a reasonably priced, high quality component. Many thanks for your kind help and super service. Kind regards. Alan Crossley."
Important note for Defender 200TDi owners
This coolant tank pointed to above, needs to be moved away from the side of the wings so that it does not impede the movement of the bonnet. We recommend that you use a U-Shaped bracket shown in the photo above to space out the coolant tank so the bonnet can correctly shut.
Optional Extras (purchase below):
Bonnet Stay Kit
If you are upgrading your bonnet from a 200TDi/300TDi with the scissor bonnet stay to a GRP PUMA bonnet you will need this stay kit as your old bonnet stay will not be compatible. TD5 bonnets may also have this PUMA stay kit, so just check what you have already.
