Used Ford Mustang Bonnet

The sixth-generation Ford Mustang (S550 platform) ran from 2015 to 2023 and received a facelift for the 2018 model year, which brought revised front-end styling including a new bonnet, grille, and lights. Bonnets from within the same pre-facelift (2015–2017) or post-facelift (2018–2023) period are generally the same design, but whether a specific bonnet crosses that 2018 boundary and fits your car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number. Never assume a pre-facelift panel will drop straight onto a post-facelift car without checking.

A 2016 Mustang is a pre-facelift S550 and a 2019 is a post-facelift S550, so they sit either side of the 2018 facelift boundary where the front end was restyled. The bonnets may share the same basic platform dimensions but the shape and shut-line profiles can differ due to the facelift changes, so you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific panel from a 2016 will work on your 2019 car using your registration. Do not rely on the generation alone when a facelift falls between the two years in question.

For the sixth-generation Mustang (2015–2023), the bonnet is shared across trim levels including the EcoBoost, GT, and Mach 1 within the same facelift period — the engine and trim grade do not change the panel itself. That said, some higher-specification or performance variants may come with a different bonnet finish, colour, or optional features such as vents or scoops, so cosmetic differences are worth checking when sourcing from a breaker. Confirm with the breaker which exact variant their donor car was so you can match the look as well as the fit.

No — the bonnet is a front-end panel and is the same across both the fastback and convertible body styles within the same generation and facelift period, as the roof and body style do not affect it. Focus on matching the generation and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift (2018 being the key boundary for the S550), and you can disregard whether the donor car at the breaker was a fastback or a convertible.

The 2018 model year is the first year of the S550 facelift, so your car has the revised post-facelift front end introduced that year. When speaking to a breaker, look for donor cars from 2018 through to 2023 to stay within the same facelift generation, and ask the breaker to check the specific panel against your registration to be sure. Avoid pre-facelift 2015–2017 cars as the bonnet design changed at the 2018 update.

The bonnet panel itself does not change between halogen and LED headlight variants — the differences are in the light units and associated components rather than the bonnet pressing. However, if there are any differences in how the bonnet sits or aligns around the headlight apertures between lighting variants on your specific car, this is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration rather than assuming it makes no difference at all.
