A used bumper that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The Cavalier ran across three main generations in the UK: the Mk1 (1975–1981), Mk2 (1981–1988), and Mk3 (1988–1995). Bumpers are generation-specific, so a Mk3 bumper will not fit a Mk2 and vice versa. When sourcing a used bumper, always confirm which generation your car is with the breaker against your registration.
The Mk3 Cavalier received a facelift in 1992, which updated the front-end styling including the bumper, grille and lights. This means a pre-facelift bumper (1988–1992) and a post-facelift bumper (1992–1995) are unlikely to be a straight swap, but whether a specific panel can be made to fit across that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration.
These two cars sit either side of the 1992 Mk3 facelift, so the bumpers may well differ in shape and mounting points. The 1990 car is pre-facelift and the 1993 car is post-facelift, and front-end panels including bumpers typically changed at that boundary. Confirm with the breaker using both registrations before purchasing.
For the Cavalier Mk3, front bumpers are shared across body styles within the same facelift period, so a bumper from a saloon should fit a hatchback of the same era. The key question is always the generation and whether the car is pre- or post-1992 facelift, not the body style. Confirm the facelift period with the breaker against your registration to be sure.
Trim level does not affect bumper fitment on the Cavalier; the same front bumper was used across the range within a given facelift period, whether your car is an L, GL, GLS, or CDX. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as fog-light apertures or finishing strips depending on the specification of the donor car, so check the bumper visually against yours before buying. As long as the generation and facelift period match, trim level is not a concern for fitment.
Ask the breaker to check the part against the donor car's registration so they can confirm the generation and whether it is pre- or post-1992 facelift. A bumper listed simply as 'Cavalier' without those details carries a real risk of being the wrong fitment. Providing your own registration to the breaker on Findapart is the safest way to get a like-for-like match.
