Used Fiat 500L Front Grille

The Fiat 500L ran as a single generation from 2012 onwards, but received a facelift in 2017 that updated the front end, including the grille, bumper and lights. Grilles from pre-facelift cars (2012–2017) should swap between those years, and the same applies within the post-facelift (2017 onwards) cars, but you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Never assume a part will fit without checking.

Both the 2015 and 2013 500L sit in the pre-facelift period (2012–2017), so the grille design is the same and fitment is very likely. Confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure, as small running changes can occasionally affect trim-mounted panels. This is the safest step before any purchase.

The 2016 car is pre-facelift and the 2018 car is post-facelift, so these sit either side of the 2017 facelift boundary where the front end styling changed. Whether the grille interchanges across that boundary is something you must confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as these panels often do not swap across a facelift. Do not assume compatibility here.

Trim level does not affect grille fitment on the 500L — the front grille is shared across variants including Pop Star, Lounge and Cross within the same facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences such as colour-coded versus gloss-black finishes depending on which trim the donor car came from, so let the breaker know your trim so they can match the finish as closely as possible. Fitment itself will not be the issue.

No — the engine makes no difference to which front grille fits your 500L, whether you have a petrol or diesel under the bonnet. The front-end panels are shared across all engine variants within a given facelift period, so just focus on the model year and whether the car is pre- or post-2017 facelift. Confirm the year range with the breaker against your registration.

The grille itself is typically finished in gloss black or body colour depending on the original trim level, so ask the breaker which trim the donor car was and check against your own. Colour matching matters cosmetically but not for fitment, so even a mismatched finish will physically bolt on within the correct facelift period. A breaker can often advise on respraying if an exact colour match is important to you.
