Fitment on a used door varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Primera ran across three main generations: P10 (1990–1996), P11 (1996–2002), and P12 (2002–2008), and doors are not interchangeable between these generations as the body shells are completely different. Within the same generation you stand the best chance of a direct fit, but confirm the exact year range of the donor car with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Both 1998 and 2001 fall within the P11 generation (1996–2002), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, but the P11 received a facelift in 1999 which may have affected panel details – this boundary is exactly where you need to confirm with the breaker against your registration. Make sure the side (NS or OS) matches your car, and if your car is a 5-door the door will differ from a 3-door model of the same year.
Trim level alone does not determine whether a door will fit; what matters is the generation (P10, P11, or P12), the number of doors on the car (3-door and 5-door front doors are not the same panel), and the side – NS (nearside, passenger left) or OS (offside, driver right). A door from an SE, SRi, or SVE of the same generation and body style should fit the frame, though you may notice differences in glass, trim finishes, or built-in features, so confirm specifics with the breaker.
No – engine choice has no bearing on door fitment for the Primera; the body shell is the same regardless of whether the car has a 1.6, 1.8, or 2.0 petrol or diesel under the bonnet. Focus on matching the generation, body style (3-door or 5-door), and the correct side (NS or OS) instead.
No, front and rear doors are different panels even on the same car – they differ in size, shape, hinge positions, and aperture, so a rear door cannot substitute for a front door. Make sure you specify nearside front (NS front) when getting quotes from breakers, and confirm the year of the donor vehicle falls within the P12 generation (2002–2008).
Colour is not a fitment issue – any colour door from the correct generation, body style, and side (NS or OS) will fit the aperture, and the panel can be resprayed to match your car. Bear in mind you may also want to check with the breaker whether the door's mirror or window features match your car's setup, as some variants differ in ways that go beyond paint.
