Used Fiat Panda Bulkhead

The Panda has run across three well-established generations: the first-generation (169 platform) ran from 2003 to 2012, and the second-generation (319 platform) ran from 2012 onwards. A bulkhead is a major structural pressing specific to its generation, so a first-gen part will not cross to a second-gen car and vice versa. Always confirm the exact generation with your breaker against your registration before purchasing.

Both a 2008 and a 2011 Panda fall within the first-generation (169 platform, 2003–2012), so in principle the bulkhead comes from the same fundamental body structure. However, mid-generation pressing changes are a known risk on any model, so confirm with your breaker against both registrations before assuming a direct swap. Never rely on year alone when buying a structural panel like this.

No — a 2013 Panda is a second-generation (319 platform, 2012 onwards) car, while a 2010 is first-generation (169 platform, 2003–2012), and these are completely different body structures. The bulkhead will not interchange across that 2012 generation boundary. Source a donor car from the correct generation and confirm with your breaker against your registration.

Trim level does not affect bulkhead fitment on the Fiat Panda — Active, Lounge, Cross and other trim variants within the same generation share the same structural body pressing. You may find minor cosmetic or bracket differences depending on what was factory-fitted to the donor car, so mention your trim to your breaker so they can flag anything like that. What matters is that you match the correct generation and body style, not the trim badge.

The Panda has been sold in both 3-door and 5-door body styles, and while the bulkhead itself is a front structural component, differences between body styles in the same generation can still affect how surrounding panels and apertures align. Confirm the door count of your donor vehicle with your breaker against your own car's registration to make sure the pressing matches correctly. Do not assume 3-door and 5-door parts are interchangeable without that check.

No — engine and gearbox choice have no bearing on bulkhead fitment for the Fiat Panda. Whether your car is a petrol, diesel, or mild-hybrid variant, the bulkhead pressing is determined by generation and body style, not what is under the bonnet. Focus your search on matching the correct generation (first-gen 169 platform 2003–2012, or second-gen 319 platform 2012 onwards) and confirm with your breaker against your registration.
