Used Peugeot RCZ Door Handle

The Peugeot RCZ was produced as a single generation running from 2010 to 2015, with a facelift introduced in 2013, so all cars share the same basic body architecture throughout the production run. Whether a handle from a pre-facelift car (2010–2012) will physically interchange with a post-facelift one (2013–2015) is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as subtle panel or trim changes around the door furniture can affect fit. Always quote your reg when requesting a quote on Findapart.

Yes, this matters significantly – the nearside (NS) handle fits the passenger side (left when facing forward) and the offside (OS) handle fits the driver's side (right), and the two are not interchangeable. When requesting a quote, always specify NS or OS clearly so the breaker can supply the correct part. Getting this wrong means the handle simply won't fit or align properly with the door mechanism.

The Peugeot RCZ is a two-door coupe throughout its entire production run, so there is no three-door versus five-door variation to worry about with this model. This keeps things straightforward – you just need to confirm the correct side (NS or OS) and the year of your car when getting a quote from a breaker.

Trim level does not affect the fitment of the door handle itself – the physical mechanism and mounting are the same across the RCZ range regardless of whether the car is a base model, GT, or THP 200. You may find cosmetic differences such as colour or finish on handles from different specifications, but these do not affect whether the part fits, and a handle can always be resprayed or swapped for your preferred finish. Focus on the side (NS/OS) and model year when sourcing your part.

Your 2012 car is pre-facelift and your 2014 car is post-facelift, with the RCZ facelift having been introduced in 2013, so there is a generational boundary between those two years that may or may not affect door handle fitment. The core body structure is shared across the full 2010–2015 run, but you should confirm with the breaker whether any changes around the door furniture mean the handles are interchangeable across that 2013 facelift boundary. Quote both registrations to the breaker on Findapart so they can cross-reference the parts accurately.

Colour is a preference rather than a fitment consideration – a handle that is the wrong colour will still fit your door correctly, so don't let a colour mismatch put you off an otherwise suitable part. Body-coloured handles can be resprayed by a bodyshop or painter to match your car, often at modest cost. Focus your search on getting the right side (NS or OS) and compatible year, and treat colour as something to sort out afterwards if needed.
