Used headrests vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Alfa Romeo 147 ran from 2001 to 2010, with a facelift in 2004, so there are broadly two generations to consider: pre-facelift (2001–2004) and post-facelift (2004–2010). Headrests within the same generation are generally likely to match, but whether a pre-facelift headrest crosses over to a post-facelift car depends on whether the seat design changed, so confirm this with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
The 147 was offered in both 3-door and 5-door body styles, and rear headrests in particular can differ between them as the rear seat design may vary. Front headrests are less likely to be affected by door count, but it is still worth confirming with the breaker, as trim level can also influence the seat style fitted.
Yes, trim level is worth checking because the 147 was sold in variants including base, Turismo, Lusso, and Veloce, and seat specifications could differ between trims — meaning the headrest shape, height adjustment, or upholstery may not match across all grades. When you contact a breaker, let them know your trim level alongside your registration so they can match the correct seat type.
Engine choice makes no difference to headrest fitment on the 147, as the seats and headrests are determined by trim level and body style rather than what is under the bonnet. You can disregard engine size entirely when searching, and focus instead on generation, trim, and whether you need a front or rear headrest.
For front headrests, NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side) may differ if the seats themselves are different shapes or have integrated features, so it is worth specifying your side when contacting a breaker. Rear headrests are often interchangeable between left and right, but confirm this with the breaker to be sure.
The 147 facelift arrived in 2004, and the seat design may or may not have changed between the pre-facelift (2001–2004) and post-facelift (2004–2010) versions, which means a direct swap across that boundary is not something that can be guaranteed. Give your registration to the breaker and ask them to compare the donor car's seat specification against yours before you commit to buying.
