Used Nissan Primera Quarter Panel

The Primera ran across three main generations in the UK: the P10 (1990–1996), the P11 (1996–2002), and the P12 (2002–2008). Quarter panels are generation-specific and will not interchange between these, so always match the part to your generation first. Within each generation there was a facelift — the P11 facelift arrived around 1999 — and whether pressing changes affect the quarter panel across that facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

No — a 2001 Primera is a P11 (1996–2002) and a 2003 Primera is a P12 (2002–2008), so these are different generations built on different platforms, and the quarter panels are not interchangeable. Always tell the breaker your exact year and registration so they can confirm the correct generation. Never assume a panel from either side of the 2002 boundary will cross over.

Yes, body style is the most important question for a quarter panel — the hatchback, saloon, and estate all have completely different rear and side pressing shapes, so a panel from one body style will not fit another even within the same generation. Make sure you tell the breaker exactly which body style you have before requesting a quote. Mixing body styles is one of the most common fitment mistakes on this part.

Trim level makes no difference to quarter panel fitment on the Primera — the pressing is the same across S, SE, SVE, SRi and other trim grades within the same generation and body style. What may differ is any mouldings, side skirts, or body kit pieces that sit around or over the panel on sportier trims like the SRi, so check with the breaker whether the panel you're buying includes or excludes those additions. The core metal panel itself will be the same regardless of trim.

The Almera and Primera share a family relationship within Nissan's lineup but are different models with different body structures, and quarter panels are not a straightforward swap. Whether any specific pressing is shared between same-platform variants sold under different names is not something that can be stated as fact here — confirm this directly with the breaker against both registrations before ordering. Don't assume shared badging or platform means shared body panels.

Yes, NS (nearside, passenger side) and OS (offside, driver side) quarter panels are handed and will not swap left for right. Always specify which side you need when contacting the breaker, along with your generation, body style, and registration. Getting the side wrong is an easy mistake that will result in a panel that cannot be fitted.
