Used Vauxhall Combo Quarter Panel

The Combo has gone through distinct generations: the B (Tour) ran roughly 1994–2001, the C shared its platform with the Fiat Doblo and ran 2001–2011, and the D (also badged as a Fiat Doblo) ran 2012–2018, followed by the E from 2018 onwards. Quarter panels are generation-specific and will not cross between these families, so always match the generation before anything else. If you are unsure which generation your van is, give your registration to the breaker and they can confirm.

These are from different generations — the 2008 is a Combo C (2001–2011) and the 2013 is a Combo D (2012–2018) — and the two share no common bodyshell, so the panels are completely different pressings and will not interchange. You need to source a quarter panel specifically from the Combo D generation for a 2013 vehicle. Confirm the exact year and body variant with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Yes, both matter significantly — the Combo van was offered in short wheelbase and long wheelbase versions, and in standard and high-roof variants, and these have different rear quarter panel pressings to suit their respective body dimensions. Always confirm your wheelbase and roof height before ordering, and give these details to the breaker alongside your registration. Getting the wrong variant is a common and costly mistake on van bodywork.

It can do, yes — the aperture and pressing around the rear corners can differ between barn-door and tailgate configurations, so a quarter panel from one type may not align correctly on the other. Always tell the breaker which rear door arrangement your van has so they can match the correct panel. Never assume the two are interchangeable.

Trim level — whether Expression, SE, Sportive, or any other — does not affect which quarter panel fits, as the underlying bodyshell pressing is the same across trims within the same generation, wheelbase, and roof height. What may differ is any factory-applied finish, badging holes, or colour, so a panel from a different trim may need preparation work before painting. Focus on matching generation, wheelbase, roof height, and door configuration rather than trim name.

The Combo D (2012–2018) and the Fiat Doblo of the same period share a common platform, which means there is a possibility of panel overlap, but whether specific quarter panel pressings are identical or carry subtle differences is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume. Breakers who deal in both marques regularly will know whether a particular panel crosses over safely. Do not fit a Doblo panel purely on the basis of platform sharing without that check.
