Cheap Nissan NP300 Bonnet

The NP300 Navara ran from 2005 to 2021 in the UK, with the current D23 generation introduced in 2016 replacing the D40 generation (2005–2015); bonnets are not interchangeable between these two generations as the front ends are completely different. Within the D40 generation, a facelift arrived around 2010 which updated the front-end styling, so you should confirm with the breaker whether a pre-facelift and post-facelift D40 bonnet interchange against your registration. Within the D23 generation (2016 onwards), a facelift was introduced around 2019, again changing front-end appearance, so cross that boundary with the breaker too.

Both a 2012 and a 2015 NP300 Navara fall within the D40 generation, but 2012 sits in the post-2010 facelift period and 2015 is also post-facelift, so in principle these should be the same front-end design. However, you should always confirm the part matches your registration with the breaker before buying, as production variations can catch you out. Never assume fitment without the breaker verifying it against both vehicles.

A 2018 and a 2020 NP300 Navara are both D23 generation vehicles, but 2018 is pre-facelift and 2020 sits after the facelift that arrived around 2019, which brought changes to the front-end styling including the grille and lights. Whether the bonnet itself interchanges across that facelift boundary is something you need to confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as panel geometry can change even when swaps look plausible. Name both years clearly when you contact the breaker.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the NP300 Navara — the bonnet panel itself is shared across trims such as Acenta, N-Connecta, and Tekna within the same generation and facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences between trim levels such as bonnet badges or the presence of a bonnet protector, but these are accessories rather than differences in the panel itself. Confirm the generation and facelift period match your vehicle with the breaker, and trim level can otherwise be set aside.

The D40 generation covers roughly 2005 to 2015 and the D23 generation covers 2016 onwards, and you can tell them apart at a glance as the D23 has a noticeably more modern, angular front end compared to the rounder D40. You can also check your V5C registration document or enter your number plate on a free DVLA-check or Nissan parts look-up tool to confirm the model year and variant. Always give the breaker your full registration number so they can match the correct bonnet to your specific vehicle.

The bonnet on a pickup truck like the NP300 Navara is a symmetrical panel that sits centrally on the vehicle, so left-hand-drive versus right-hand-drive does not affect the bonnet itself — the same panel is used on both. What matters for fitment is the generation (D40 or D23) and whether the vehicle is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. Confirm the year and generation with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get the right panel.
