Defender 90 Puma Headlining Replacement Kits: Fitment & Style Guide

Understanding Your Puma Defender 90 Layout

From 2007 to 2016, the Puma Defender 90 saw various configurations. Before ordering a replacement kit, you need to identify three things:

1. Sunroof or Plain Roof: Do you have a factory sunroof tilt-glass setup?

2. Rear Station Wagon vs. Hardtop Van: Do you need side-window alpine trim cutouts?

3. Interior Lighting: Standard centre light or upgraded LED interior spots?

Why GRP is Essential for Puma Builds

Puma utility trucks and overlanders work hard. Traditional fibreboard gets soft if condensation builds up under a roof tent or during winter driving. Our GRP kits are completely impervious to roof condensation.

Choose Your Finish: Suede, Heritage Tweeds, or Custom Bespoke

When upgrading to a rigid GRP headlining, selecting the exact material finish is where you completely redefine the atmosphere inside your Land Rover. Whether you are aiming for a sleek modern cabin, a timeless British countryside aesthetic, or a raw canvas for your own upholstery project, we manufacture our linings in premium, hard-wearing materials that handle the classic Defender environment.

Here is a detailed breakdown of our material options, colorways, and exactly which builds they suit best.

1. The Premium Suede Range: Modern Luxury & Acoustics

Our premium faux-suede options completely transform the atmosphere inside the vehicle. Featuring a deep, rich texture with a short, luxurious nap, this material provides excellent acoustic dampening, noticeably reducing panel echo and road drone inside the cabin.

• Black Suede: The ultimate "blackout" or stealth option. It creates an incredibly sleek, high-end, cohesive cabin atmosphere that pairs perfectly with modern black leather upgrades.

• Dark Grey Suede: Our most popular modern finish. It offers a rich, deep anthracite tone that looks incredibly premium without making the cabin feel too enclosed. It integrates beautifully with standard Puma dashboards.

• Light Grey Suede: Perfect for keeping the cabin feeling bright, spacious, and open, while still delivering that premium, soft-touch texture. Excellent for trucks without alpine window glass.

• Beige Suede: A warm, inviting, traditional luxury tone. This looks stunning when paired with classic tan leather seats and traditional exterior paintwork like Keswick Green or Epsom Green.

• Chocolate Suede: A rich, deep, earth-toned brown that offers an incredibly unique, high-end look. It looks exceptional in overland builds or custom vehicles featuring vintage leather themes.

2. The Heritage Tweed Collection: Timeless British Character

For classic restorations, country builds, or vehicles designed to stand out with a sophisticated, timeless look, nothing matches the texture and character of traditional British wool patterns.

• Harris Tweed: Authentic, rugged, and unmistakably premium. Choosing a genuine Harris Tweed lining brings an incredible organic texture and a classic country-estate vibe to the cabin. It is highly durable and naturally flame-resistant.

• Herringbone Tweed: Featuring the classic, subtle V-shaped weaving pattern, Herringbone adds a sharp, tailored, geometric sophistication to the interior. It offers a vintage look that pairs beautifully with retro-mod retrofits and premium leather piping on seats.

3. Custom & Project Options: Built to Your Vision

Because we manufacture our GRP boards from scratch right here in our own molds, we aren't limited by standard catalog options. If you have a highly specific build vision, we offer two routes:

• Custom (Anything you can imagine): Have a specific tartan, a unique leather, or a custom fabric that matches your bespoke seat recovering project? Work with us directly. If you can imagine it, we can trim your GRP board in it.

• Uncovered GRP Boards: For the hardcore DIYer, professional custom shops, or vehicle trimmers who want to handle their own upholstery. You get our ultra-tough, rigid, bare GRP board moulded perfectly to size, ready for you to prime, paint, or apply your own custom fabric from scratch.

The Final Check: Ordering Your GRP Kit with Confidence

Because Land Rover spent decades tweaking the internal dimensions of the Defender, ordering an interior part online can feel like a gamble. We don’t want you worrying about whether your new lining will fit when it arrives on the courier's truck.

Before you hit buy, run through our quick Defender Headlining Pre-Flight Checklist:

• Check Your Roof Ribs: Are your factory internal structural support ribs standard, or has a previous owner modified the roof (e.g., pop-top overlander or aftermarket sunroof)?

• Locate Your Internal Lights: Note down your current interior light positions so you can select the correct pre-cut layout or coordinate a custom spot-lighting setup with us.

• Identify if you have alpine windows: Ensure you've selected the correct model variant based on whether your truck features the wrap-around rear alpine light windows or solid metal van sides.

If you are still unsure about your exact truck configuration, don't guess. Take a quick photo of your current interior roof and email it over to our team at Defender Headlining. We live and breathe these vehicles, and we’ll tell you exactly which kit matches your chassis.
