    Dunno for sure, but I would think it would stick up too high. It's bad enough on a standard bonnet.

    It would also be angled forward and sit funny I would have thought?

    I doubt it. You're not even supposed to fit one on a TD5

    Is the Puma bonnet bulge strong enough to walk around on? They didn't let me try at the dealership - I thought it was integral to buying a Defender.

    I would guess it would be illegal to fit a spare wheel mount on the bonnet as one has never been fitted to a PUMA at factory AFAIK......

    And being as though it impedes vision on a standard bonnet I can't imagine you getting it engineered to either
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    The other problem would be the roof leaking after fitting the periscope.

    I agree with what DB said, you wouldn't pass a roadworthy inspection with it.

    That aside though the bulge means the tyre would be raised considerably and your line of site would be terrible. Just wouldn't work. Look at a picture of a Puma and notice how far up the firewall the bulge actually sits.

    how would you lift the bonnet, a s11 with skinny spare is hard enough.
