Fitment on a used scuttle panel 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: the P10 (1990–1996), the P11 (1996–2002), and the P12 (2002–2008), and scuttle panels do not carry over between these generations as the bodyshells are completely different. Within a generation there is more chance of interchange, but you should confirm exact year ranges with the breaker against your registration before assuming a part will fit.
The P11 Primera received a facelift around 1999, and while both sit on the same platform, pressing changes around that refresh mean a scuttle from a 1997 car may not match a 2001 car exactly. Name the generation boundary to your breaker and ask them to check the part against your registration number rather than assuming it crosses cleanly.
Yes, body style is the first thing to check — the Primera was offered as a hatchback, saloon, and estate, and the scuttle panel pressing differs between these body styles even within the same generation. Always tell the breaker which body style you have so they can pull the correct part.
Trim level — whether you have an LX, GX, SVE, or any other specification — does not affect which scuttle panel you need, as fitment is determined by generation and body style rather than trim. You may find cosmetic differences such as paint finish or minor surface detail between cars from different trim levels, so mention your colour code to the breaker if that matters to you.
No — even within the P12 generation (2002–2008), the hatchback and estate use different body pressings, so a panel from one body style will not correctly fit the other. Make sure you specify both the generation and the exact body style when requesting quotes from breakers.
Both a 1998 and a 2000 Primera fall within the P11 generation (1996–2002), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility, provided the body styles match. However, the P11 facelift around 1999 means pressing changes are possible in this window, so confirm directly with the breaker by giving them your registration to check before purchasing.
