Used Peugeot 208 Bulkhead

The 208 runs across two generations: the first-generation (Mk1) ran from 2012 to 2019, and the second-generation (Mk2) launched in 2019 and is still current. A bulkhead from a Mk1 will not cross over to a Mk2, as the two generations sit on entirely different platforms with different bodyshells. Always confirm the generation with your breaker against your registration plate.

Both a 2015 and a 2017 208 are first-generation (Mk1) cars, so you are within the same platform and generation. The Mk1 received a facelift in 2015, and while the generation boundary stays the same, there is a possibility of pressing changes around that facelift year. Confirm with your breaker that the specific panel from the donor car matches your registration before buying.

This question spans the generation boundary: a 2018 car is a first-generation Mk1, while a 2020 car is a second-generation Mk2. The bulkhead is a core structural panel and will not interchange across generations, as the platforms are completely different. You need a Mk2 (2019-onwards) bulkhead for a 2020 car.

The 208 Mk1 was offered in both 3-door and 5-door hatchback body styles, and the door count can affect the geometry of the bodyshell at the sides and rear even if the front is common. A bulkhead sits at the firewall between the engine bay and the cabin, so it is less directly affected by door count than outer panels, but you should still confirm with your breaker that the donor car matches your body style to be safe.

Trim level — whether that is Active, Allure, GT Line, or any other — does not affect bulkhead fitment on the 208; what matters is generation, body style, and door count. You may find that donor cars from different trim levels carry different holes, brackets, or fixings for trim-specific components, but the structural panel itself is the same across the range within a given generation. Your breaker can advise on any minor bracket differences when you quote your registration.

Engine choice — petrol, diesel, or electric — does not determine bulkhead fitment on the 208; the critical factors are generation (Mk1 2012–2019 or Mk2 2019-onwards), body style, and door count. Some engine-bay anchorage points or bulkhead pass-through holes may differ between petrol and electric variants on the Mk2, so it is worth confirming with your breaker against your exact registration to make sure all fixings and apertures line up correctly.
