Sam,

The Puma bonnet is very strong and obviously very distinctive. Its a popular mod in the UK to fit Puma bonnets to make car look newer.

The bulkheads of post 2007 Defenders haven't got openings in them for the flaps, so 99% chance its an older refurb wearing a Puma bonnet or a 1% chance of someone missing his flaps so much that he cut them back in...:eek:

The only real "surface" distinction would be the interior dash arrangement to identify it as a Puma (although a couple blokes have fitted Puma dashes to older Deefers!).

Cheers,

Lou

Yep, aware of the differences... just stumped me that it looked so new, it mustve been a replacement i guess. Surprises me also that LR body parts are interchangeable over such a large number of model years. They really havent developed this thing at all over the last couple of decades. Part of the charm i think.

Puma aircon AND pre '07 flaps would be worth having i think! Small matter of a large lump of plastic in the way though

Aren't the answers above.
