Used Alfa Romeo 155 Bulkhead

The Alfa Romeo 155 was produced from 1992 to 1998 as a single generation saloon, all built on the same platform throughout its run. The bulkhead is closely tied to the body structure and platform, so parts from across the 1992–1998 production span are broadly from the same family. That said, mid-production pressing changes can occur on long-running models, so always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

The 155 received a facelift in 1995 with changes to front-end styling and interior details, but the underlying platform and body structure remained the same saloon shell throughout. The bulkhead sits at the structural heart of the car and is unlikely to differ across that facelift boundary, but pressing or attachment-point changes between early and late cars are exactly the kind of detail that is not always publicly documented. Name both your registration and the donor car's year to the breaker and ask them to confirm the part matches before you commit.

No — engine variant and trim level do not affect bulkhead fitment on the 155. Whether your car is a base 1.6, a Twin Spark, a 2.0 16v, or the V6, the bulkhead is determined by the body structure, not what sits behind it. Trim levels such as Super, Cloverleaf, or Q4 badging make no structural difference to this part, though you may notice cosmetic or ancillary bracket differences depending on the donor car's specification.

The Alfa Romeo 155 was only ever sold in the UK as a four-door saloon, so body style is not a variable you need to worry about when sourcing a bulkhead for this model. All 155s share the same saloon shell, which simplifies the search considerably compared to models offered in multiple body styles. Confirm the donor car is also a 155 saloon rather than a related Alfa platform variant, and verify against your registration with the breaker as a standard precaution.

The 155 and the 145/146 are related Alfa Romeo models from the same era but are built on different platforms — the 155 uses the Type 164 platform while the 145 and 146 sit on a different architecture — so a bulkhead from those models is not a straightforward swap. Body structure parts like the bulkhead are platform-specific and the differences in shell geometry mean cross-model fitment is very unlikely. Do not assume compatibility; always quote your 155's registration to the breaker and ask specifically for a 155 bulkhead.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the exact model year and specification of your car, and ask them to match it against the donor vehicle's year as well. The bulkhead is a major structural panel tied to the body shell, so accurate year and model matching matters. If there is any doubt about mid-run pressing changes between the donor car and yours, ask the breaker to physically compare the parts before dispatch rather than relying on year alone.
