Defender 90 and 110 share most front-end and bulkhead panels; rear body, floor, sill and roof parts are usually wheelbase-specific. Always match the panel to your era — Tdi (1990–1998), Td5 (1998–2007) or Td4\/Puma (2007–2016) — and to 90 or 110 as listed. Left- and right-hand-drive matter for bulkhead, dash and some fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any reproduction panel, trial-fit against the vehicle before final welding or paint. Minor adjustment at flanges and mounting points is a normal part of professional panel fitting, even with precision replica pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy replace instead of repair\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery hour spent cutting corrosion out of an original panel is an hour not spent finishing the vehicle — and rust repair is the most open-ended line in any restoration budget. A new replica door gives you a fixed cost, a known timeline and straight steel from day one. No hunting classifieds for a donor Defender, no cutting up a survivor for one usable panel, no discovering that the ‘solid’ second-hand panel you shipped across the country rusted the same way yours did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Land Rover Defender\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Land Rover Defender — and the One Ten \/ Ninety models that preceded the name — was built in Solihull from 1983 to 2016 on a body architecture Land Rover kept deliberately simple: aluminium alloy outer panels (Birmabright-derived alloys) hung on a steel bulkhead, steel door frames and a steel ladder chassis. That mix is the Defender's blessing and its curse. The alloy skins shrug off surface rust, but the steel structure beneath — bulkhead, door frames, B- and C-pillars, crossmembers and the boot floor supports — corrodes aggressively, and galvanic reaction where alloy meets steel eats panels from the joint outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDefenders span three main mechanical eras that matter for body parts: the coil-sprung Tdi era (200Tdi\/300Tdi, 1990–1998), the Td5 era (1998–2007) and the Puma\/Td4 era (2007–2016). Body details — dash and bulkhead pressings, fender tops, door construction, seat boxes and floor assemblies — changed at each step, so Defender panels are usually listed as Tdi, Td5 or Td4\/Puma specific. With production ended and Land Rover Classic parts pricing climbing, quality reproduction panels have become the standard way to keep working Defenders and restoration builds on the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate  |  \u003cstrong\u003eTypical time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4 hours per door (fitting and alignment)  |  \u003cstrong\u003eWelding required:\u003c\/strong\u003e no.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoors are a bolt-on repair: transfer your hinges, latches, glass and regulators to the new shell, hang the door, then adjust hinge and striker positions until gaps are even. Set door gaps before paint — aim for consistent 4–5 mm margins — and check the swage line alignment with the adjacent panels. Worn hinge pins will defeat even a perfect door, so rebuild hinges at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTools:\u003c\/strong\u003e basic hand tools, hinge spanners, door-alignment jack or helper, trim tools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon mistakes to avoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e painting before test-fitting, re-using worn hinge pins, and forcing gap problems with the striker instead of the hinges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality \u0026amp; Manufacturing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodyBros replica panels are pressed on dedicated tooling developed from measured original panels, in automotive-grade material matched to the application. Pressings are checked against reference bucks for profile, flange geometry and hole placement before packing. Steel panels are supplied with a protective primer coating ready for preparation and refinishing; alloy and plastic parts are supplied ready to prepare and paint. These are aftermarket replica restoration parts — manufactured by BodyBros, not by the original vehicle maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWorldwide Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe ship worldwide — including the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Defender 90 and 110 share most front-end and bulkhead panels; rear body, floor, sill and roof parts are usually wheelbase-specific. Always match the panel to your era — Tdi (1990–1998), Td5 (1998–2007) or Td4\/Puma (2007–2016) — and to 90 or 110 as listed. Left- and right-hand-drive matter for bulkhead, dash and some fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it suit applications with part reference LR029310?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes — this replica panel is made to suit applications that used reference number LR029310.

The Land Rover Defender commonly rusts in the steel bulkhead and footwells, door frames and bottoms, B\/C-pillars, rear crossmember, seat box and floor supports — plus galvanic corrosion wherever alloy panels meet steel, and this replica pressing replaces corroded original metal with new steel — no donor vehicle required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you ship this internationally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
