Used Alfa Romeo Spider Door

The Alfa Romeo Spider ran as a single generation from 1994 to 2005, with a facelift introduced in 1998, so there are effectively two phases: pre-facelift (1994–1998) and post-facelift (1998–2005). Doors from within the same phase are your safest starting point, but whether a pre-facelift door crosses over to a post-facelift car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your exact registration. The Spider is a two-door convertible throughout its entire run, so there is no three-door or five-door variation to worry about.

Yes, absolutely — NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) doors are handed and are not interchangeable with each other. When asking for quotes on Findapart, always specify NS or OS clearly to make sure breakers quote you the correct side. Getting the wrong side means the door simply will not fit the aperture.

These two cars fall either side of the 1998 facelift, which is a recognised generational boundary for the Spider — the 1997 car is pre-facelift and the 2000 car is post-facelift. The body style is a two-door convertible throughout, but panel and door shell details can differ across that facelift point. You should confirm with the breaker whether the specific door from a 1997 car is compatible with your post-facelift 2000 model before buying.

The Alfa Romeo Spider was offered in trim levels including the entry Lusso and the more sporting S version during its production run, but trim level does not affect the fundamental door shell or its fitment to the car. A door from one trim will physically fit another, though you may find minor cosmetic differences such as different cladding, handles, or glass tint that you should expect and account for. Colour is purely a preference matter and any door can be resprayed, so focus on getting the correct side and the correct facelift phase rather than worrying about trim.

The door shell itself is the core fitment item and does not change based on mirror or window features, but the specific configuration of electric windows, mirror controls, or any heated or folding mirror functions can vary. You should confirm with the breaker against your registration what features your existing door has, so they can match the mechanisms as closely as possible. This avoids extra work swapping components over after the door arrives.

The Spider and the GTV were sister cars built on the same platform and produced over the same 1994–2005 period, sharing many components, but they have different body styles — the Spider is a convertible and the GTV is a coupe. Whether the door shells themselves interchange between the two is not something that can be confirmed as fact, so you should put this question directly to the breaker with both registrations to hand before purchasing.
