The Peugeot 406 ran from 1995 to 2004 as a single generation, but it received a facelift around 1999 which brought changes to the front-end styling including the bonnet, headlights and grille. Bonnets from the pre-facelift cars (1995–1999) and post-facelift cars (1999–2004) may differ in profile and how they align with the surrounding panels. Always tell your breaker which side of 1999 your car falls on when asking for a quote.
Your 1997 car is a pre-facelift 406 and your 2001 car is a post-facelift model, so they sit on either side of the 1999 facelift boundary. The bonnet shape and shut-line profile can differ across that boundary, so whether the panel physically interchanges is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying. Don't assume they're the same simply because both cars are called a 406.
No, the body style does not affect bonnet fitment on the 406 — the front end is shared across saloon and estate variants within the same facelift period. What matters is whether the donor car is pre-facelift (1995–1999) or post-facelift (1999–2004), not whether it was a saloon or estate. Give your breaker your registration and they can confirm the correct panel.
Trim level — whether your 406 is an LX, GLX, SV or any other grade — has no effect on bonnet fitment, as the front-end panel is the same across trim lines within a given facelift period. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as badging, but the bonnet itself is not trim-specific. Confirm the facelift period with your breaker and trim level can be disregarded.
No, the engine fitted to your 406 makes no difference to bonnet fitment — whether you have a 1.8 petrol, 2.0 HDi or any other variant, the bonnet is the same for a given facelift period. The key question for your breaker is simply whether your car is pre-facelift (1995–1999) or post-facelift (1999–2004). Provide your registration so the breaker can verify the exact specification.
Colour doesn't affect whether a bonnet physically fits, so don't restrict your search by colour if you're planning to respray — focus on getting the right facelift era first. If you do want a colour-matched panel, bear in mind that used bonnets from breakers are sold as removed from the donor car, so paint condition and shade match can vary. Check with the breaker on colour code if a close match matters to you, but never narrow down fitment compatibility on the basis of paint alone.
