Fitment on a used wheel arch liner varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Alfa Romeo Spider (916 series) ran from 1995 to 2005 as a single generation two-seater convertible, so liners from anywhere within that production run are your starting point for compatibility. That said, there were detail changes across the production life, and whether a liner from an early car crosses cleanly to a later one is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration before you commit.
Within the 916-series Spider's 1995–2005 run, year is relevant because Alfa made pressing and panel updates at various points, and the arch liner profiles can follow those changes. Name your exact registration year when contacting a breaker so they can match the liner to the correct pressing rather than assuming any 916 Spider liner will drop straight in.
No — the wheel arch liner is determined by the body structure, not by whether your Spider has the Twin Spark, V6, or any other engine, and trim levels such as Lusso or S do not change the arch shape. You may find cosmetic differences on liners pulled from different trim cars, but fitment to the bodywork is unaffected, so don't let engine or spec differences put you off an otherwise matching liner.
The 916 Spider is a two-seater roadster with no rear passenger footwell area behind the main arches, but it does have both front (NS and OS) wheel arch liners fitted as standard. When contacting a breaker, specify clearly whether you need the nearside or offside liner, as these are not interchangeable with each other.
The GTV (also 916 series) shares its platform with the Spider, and some components do cross over, but the GTV is a fixed-roof coupe whereas the Spider is a convertible, meaning body structures differ and liner profiles may not match. Whether a GTV liner genuinely fits your Spider is not something to assume — put the question to the breaker with both registrations and let them compare part numbers before buying.
Give the breaker your full registration so they can verify the model year and any mid-run changes that affect the liner profile, and confirm whether you need nearside or offside. It is also worth asking whether the liner came from a car with the same production year bracket as yours, given that detail changes occurred across the 1995–2005 run.
