Fiat 500C Rear Tailgate Replacement Parts

The Fiat 500C is based on the first-generation 500 platform, which ran from 2008 through to around 2024 when production wound down, with a facelift arriving in 2015. Parts from within the pre-facelift period (2008–2015) are most likely to interchange directly, and the same broadly applies within the post-facelift range (2015 onwards), but whether a tailgate crosses the 2015 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before ordering.

No — the 500C is a convertible soft-top body style, which means its rear end is structurally and visually different from the fixed-roof 500 hatchback; the tailgates are not interchangeable. Always make sure the breaker is supplying a part specifically from a 500C, not a standard 500.

Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Fiat 500C — the body pressing is the same across Pop, Pop Star, Lounge, and similar grades within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences such as badging or paint finish between cars that were optioned differently, so be aware of that when sourcing, but structurally the part will fit regardless of trim.

These two cars sit either side of the 2015 facelift, so there is a meaningful boundary between them. The generation and platform are the same throughout the 500C's run, but pressing or shut-line changes at a facelift can affect panel fit — confirm with the breaker whether the specific tailgate from a 2013 car is compatible with your 2017 registration before purchasing.

For a rear tailgate, drive side (NS/OS hand) does not affect fitment in the way it would for a front wing or door — the tailgate itself is symmetrical and is not handed. Generation, body style, and facelift period are still the factors to check with your breaker, but left- versus right-hand drive is not a concern for this particular panel.

Used tailgates are almost always supplied in the donor car's original colour, so an exact paint match is unlikely unless you get lucky — most buyers plan for a respray or blend. Confirm the panel's condition, any previous repairs, and the paint code with the breaker so your bodyshop can match it accurately.
