No two quarter panels are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
Also known as: rear quarter.
These are completely different generations — the N15 ran from 1995 to 2000 and the N16 ran from 2000 to 2006, and the bodyshells share no common pressings at the rear quarters, so panels do not interchange across that boundary. Make sure any breaker you quote confirms the generation code against your registration before you buy.
Yes, body style is the first thing to establish — the N16 Almera was offered as a three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback, and four-door saloon, and the rear quarter panel is a completely different pressing for each body style. Always tell the breaker exactly which body style you have, not just the year, or you risk buying a panel that will never align correctly.
Trim level — whether that is S, SE, or SVE — does not affect which quarter panel you need, as the pressing is determined by generation and body style, not specification. You may find that higher trims came with bodykit sill extensions or moulding strips attached to the quarter area, so a panel pulled from a lower-spec car may arrive without those items, but the steel panel itself will be the same.
Both a 2000 and a 2003 Almera sit within the N16 generation (2000–2006), so they are the correct starting point, but mid-generation pressing changes are something you need to confirm with the breaker against both registration numbers rather than assume. The body style must also match — hatchback to hatchback, saloon to saloon — before anything else is considered.
Absolutely — NS (nearside, passenger/left) and OS (offside, driver/right) quarter panels are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when requesting quotes from a breaker. Double-check by standing behind the car: the NS is the left rear quarter and the OS is the right rear quarter.
The N16 Almera received a facelift in 2003, and while both pre- and post-facelift cars share the same platform, whether the rear quarter pressings changed at that point is something you should confirm with the breaker by comparing part numbers against both registrations. Name the facelift year and your exact body style when contacting breakers so they can cross-reference accurately before any part is reserved for you.
