Used front panels vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Pathfinder has had several distinct generations, and the front panel is generation-specific — the third generation (R51) ran from 2005 to 2014, while the fourth generation (R52) ran from 2013 onwards, and parts between these generations will not interchange. Within the R51, there was a facelift around 2010 which brought changes to the grille, lights, and bumper, so the pre-facelift and post-facelift front panels may differ. Always confirm the exact compatibility against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.
These two years sit either side of the R51 facelift, which occurred around 2010 and brought visible changes to the front end including the grille and surrounding panels. Both are within the R51 generation, but whether the specific front panel crosses that facelift boundary is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration, as the pre-facelift and post-facelift front ends are not guaranteed to be the same. Do not assume fitment without checking.
Trim level does not affect the structural front panel fitment — the panel itself is shared across S, SE, SVE, and Tekna grades within the same generation and facelift period. However, there can be cosmetic differences between trims such as badge placement, additional trim clips, or preparation for different grille finishes, so be aware the panel you receive may need minor adaptation. Confirm generation and facelift period with the breaker, not the trim level.
Both a 2006 and a 2009 Pathfinder fall within the pre-facelift R51 generation, so the front panel is very likely to be compatible. That said, production changes can sometimes occur within a model year range, so it is always worth confirming with the breaker using both registration numbers to be certain.
No — the R51 (2005–2014) and R52 (2013 onwards) are entirely separate generations with different platforms and front-end designs, so parts between them will not interchange. Always make sure the breaker confirms the generation of any front panel against your specific registration.
The 2010 facelift of the R51 Pathfinder brought changes to the front end, meaning a 2011 panel is post-facelift and a 2009 panel is pre-facelift, so these may not be directly interchangeable. You should confirm with the breaker using both registrations whether the specific panel crosses the facelift boundary before purchasing, as fitment across that boundary cannot be guaranteed.
