Puma bonnet on fleabay

Not meaning to stereotype but i have been through a few rough parts of merthyr, might be genuine but who sells a bonnet like that on its own?

Saw this and thought.....

selling on behalf of a friend who have now sold his 90 so no longer needed. bonnet is off a 2010 model in blue and is in excellent condition. Paid good money for this bonnet so no silly offers sensible offers will be considered,

Friends 90 was pre 07? 'Upgraded' with a Puma bonnet but keeps original bonnet?

Sells pre 07 90 with original bonnet and wants to sell the Puma bonnet.

Plausible???

Possible but?????

"You are bidding on a landrover defender puma bonnet selling on behalf of a friend who have now sold his 90 so no longer needed. bonnet is off a 2010 model in blue and is in excellent condition."

Friend must've sold the 90 less the bonnet then.

Makes sense... Lots of people buying 2010 90's don't actually want/need a bonnet when they buy 2nd hand. In fact many folk would rather drive their new (to them) 90 home without a bonnet at all because they happen to have a spare in the same colour already.

It could of course be totally genuine.[/b]

Here in Chile most of us dont use the bonnet. The Defender looks better without it (some times also we discard the doors, the spare tire, the mirrors and other bits)

Funny excuse anyway.
Thanks to God, here in Chile with a sales rate of 25 units a year, not too much market for those pieces. Eduardo

Sadly there are normally a few Puma bonnets on e/bay of dubious origin, however there is always the chance its originally off a damaged puma, I always look at what else the seller has sold in the past to try and balance my generally suspicious nature, I think if mine went a walk Id buy a fiberglass replacement.

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

looks dodgy to me, low feedback so not a lot of info on seller to go on, bonnet with current paint colour & lettering and lastly, not the most plausible story!

Wouldn't touch it with a bargepole, It'll probably get nicked again due to the seller getting the buyers address!

You certainly wouldn't collect in person.
You stop in Merthyr and the whole car would go missing.
Collect your new bonnet while they nick the one you had.
