Used Vauxhall Adam Front Grille

The Vauxhall Adam was produced from 2013 to 2019 and received a mild facelift in 2017, which brought updates to the front end including revised lighting and grille detailing. This 2017 facelift boundary is the key thing to check when sourcing a used front grille. Always confirm the exact pre- or post-facelift status of any grille with the breaker against your registration.

A 2015 Adam is pre-facelift and a 2018 Adam is post-facelift, so these sit either side of the 2017 facelift boundary where front-end panels including the grille were revised. It is therefore possible the two grilles are not a direct swap, but whether this specific part interchanges across that boundary is something you must confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of the front grille on the Vauxhall Adam — the same grille shell fits across Jam, Glam, Slam and other trims within the same facelift period. That said, some trim levels had cosmetic additions such as different finishes or colour-coded detailing, so the grille you source may look slightly different to your original even if it fits correctly. Confirm the finish you need with the breaker so you end up with the closest visual match.

No, the engine has no bearing on front grille fitment for the Vauxhall Adam — the front-end panel is shared regardless of whether the car has the 1.0, 1.2 or 1.4 petrol engine. The only fitment question that matters is whether the grille is from the correct facelift period, so focus on the pre-2017 or post-2017 split when speaking to a breaker.

A 2016 Adam is pre-facelift and a 2017 Adam may be pre- or post-facelift depending on exactly when in 2017 it was built, since the facelift arrived during that year. This means a 2017-sourced grille could be from either side of the facelift boundary, so you should ask the breaker to confirm the facelift status of the donor car against its registration before assuming it will match yours.

Colour does not affect whether the grille will physically fit, and front grilles on the Vauxhall Adam are generally painted or colour-coded separately rather than being a single moulded colour, so a grille from a different-coloured car can still be used. You or a bodyshop would simply need to paint or refinish it to match your vehicle. Confirm the condition and finish of the part with the breaker before purchasing.
