Used Ford Fusion Front Grille

The Ford Fusion was sold in the UK from 2002 to 2012 as a single generation, so grilles from across that production run are broadly from the same platform. However, Ford facelifted the Fusion in 2005, and front-end panels including the grille and bumper were updated at that point. Confirm with the breaker whether the specific grille they have is pre-2005 or post-2005 to make sure it matches your car.

Your 2004 car is a pre-facelift Fusion and a 2007 car is post-facelift, so they sit either side of the 2005 facelift boundary where the front-end styling changed. The grille design and the way it integrates with the bumper and headlights may differ between those two periods. Confirm with the breaker against your registration whether the specific grille they have will cross that facelift boundary and fit your pre-2005 car.

Trim level does not affect which front grille fits the Ford Fusion — the grille itself is shared across Zetec, Ghia and other trim variants within the same facelift period. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as chrome detailing or finish depending on what the breaker has in stock, but these are cosmetic rather than fitment issues. As long as the grille is from the correct facelift period for your car, it will fit regardless of which trim the donor vehicle was.

No, the engine has no effect on front grille fitment for the Ford Fusion — whether your car is a petrol or diesel, the front grille is the same across the range for a given facelift period. Just make sure the grille the breaker is supplying matches your pre-2005 or post-2005 facelift version. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

The Fusion facelift in 2005 brought changes to the front end including the grille surround, bumper and headlight design, so the easiest check is the donor vehicle's registration year. A breaker will be able to tell you whether the grille came from a pre-2005 or post-2005 car, and you can cross-reference that against your own car's registration. Always confirm the specific part against your reg with the breaker before purchasing, as subtle variations can exist.

Not necessarily — while all Fusions from 2002 to 2012 share the same basic platform, the 2005 facelift changed the front-end styling, meaning pre-2005 and post-2005 grilles are not guaranteed to be interchangeable. Within each of those two periods, fitment is generally consistent regardless of body style, engine or trim level. Confirm with the breaker against your registration which side of the 2005 facelift your car sits on before agreeing a purchase.
