BogMonster Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I want a set of Genuine wing top protectors for the new Puma. Have a set on the 300Tdi and they are much better finished than the cheapies. What is the difference between a Puma wing and a Td5/Tdi wing - why are the wing top protectors for 2007 onwards sold under a different part number? The Puma genuine part seems outrageously expensive, I am sure the ones I have on my 300 were only about £100 or so. Wondering if I get a set of the older type ones, whether there will be an issue fitting them, I cannot immediately see why there would be.

Boris113 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The difference is in the Puma bonnet rather than the wings, it's wider at the bulkhead end so the Puma chequer panels are slightly narrower and finish before the radio ariel hole rather than going around. I tried to fit a set of pre-Puma Mamouth chequer to my TD5 which has a Puma bonnet and the chequer sat under the edge of the bonnet, preventing the bonnet from closing properly. There's a company on eBay that apparently produce chequer and NAS steps for Land Rover, I'm tempted by a set of their wingtops and the price is reasonable given that gaskets are included. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Defender-Black-chequer-plate-Wing-Top-Protection-Plates-NEW-AND-GENUINE/282625790831?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Ah ok, thanks, I see what you mean. Didn't think about the bonnet. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
