Nissan Note Wheel Trims Replacement Parts

Wheel trims (plastic hub caps) were genuinely fitted to the Nissan Note as standard equipment on lower and mid-range trim levels throughout its production run, so they absolutely exist on this model. Higher-spec trims were typically fitted with alloy wheels from the factory instead. If you are unsure whether your car left the factory with trims or alloys, check the wheel itself — trims clip over steel wheels, whereas alloys are a single-piece metal wheel.

The first-generation Note ran from 2006 to 2013 and the second generation from 2013 onwards, and these are significantly different cars with different wheel sizes and trim profiles, so trims from one generation will very likely not fit the other. Wheel trim fitment depends primarily on the rim diameter and the retaining clip profile, both of which can differ between generations. Always confirm the exact wheel size on your car's tyre sidewall (e.g. 15-inch or 16-inch) and check this matches the trims being offered before buying from a breaker.

For wheel trims, engine size does not affect fitment — trims are fitted to steel wheels and the wheel size on the first-generation Note (2006–2013) was consistent across the 1.4 and 1.6 petrol engines for equivalent trim levels. What matters is the diameter of the steel wheel (most commonly 15-inch on the Note), so verify this matches on your car before purchasing. Trim level can occasionally affect the wheel size specified, so double-check the tyre size printed on your existing tyre.

On the Nissan Note, trim level (Visia, Acenta, Tekna) does not fundamentally affect whether wheel trims interchange, because fitment depends on the steel wheel rim diameter rather than the trim grade. However, be aware that different trim levels may have been fitted with different-diameter steel wheels or indeed alloy wheels (Tekna in particular was often alloy-equipped), so a Tekna is less likely to be a useful donor for trims at all. Visually, trims from different trim levels may also have a slightly different styling, so ask the breaker which trim level the trims came from if appearance matters to you.

The first-generation Nissan Note received a facelift in 2008, but this was primarily a cosmetic update and the underlying steel wheel specification did not change, meaning trims are generally compatible across this boundary within the first generation. That said, the trim style or spoke pattern of the plastic trim itself may differ between pre- and post-facelift cars, so you may end up with a trim that fits securely but looks slightly different to your other three. Confirm with the breaker that the clip diameter matches your steel wheel size, and ask which year the trims came from so you can judge whether the appearance will be acceptable.

Wheel trims are sized by rim diameter and retaining clip design rather than being vehicle-specific in the way that body panels are, so a 15-inch trim from another Nissan model of the same era may physically fit a Note steel wheel — but this is not guaranteed. The safest approach is to source trims specifically described as coming from a Note, as the breaker can then confirm they were fitted and working on an equivalent car. If you are struggling to find Note-specific trims, tell the breaker your steel wheel diameter and they may be able to suggest compatible alternatives from their stock.
