Used Vauxhall Corsa Bonnet

The Corsa has run through several distinct generations sold in the UK: the B (1993–2000), C (2000–2006), D (2006–2014), and E (2014–2019), with the F generation arriving from 2019 onwards. The generation is the single most important factor for bonnet fitment, as each generation has a unique front-end structure and panel shape. Always tell the breaker your generation or simply your registration so they can confirm the exact match.

The Corsa D ran from 2006 to 2014 and received a facelift in 2011, which brought changes to the front end including the lights and grille surround. Bonnets from within the same pre- or post-facelift period of the D are generally expected to be interchangeable, but whether a pre-facelift (2006–2011) bonnet crosses over to a post-facelift (2011–2014) car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel shut lines and profiles can differ at that boundary. Do not assume cross-facelift fitment without that check.

The Corsa E ran from 2014 to 2019 and received a facelift in 2019, so both a 2015 and a 2018 car sit within the same pre-facelift E generation. Bonnets from this period are expected to be interchangeable, but always confirm with the breaker against your specific registration to be certain before purchasing.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the Corsa — the bonnet panel itself is shared across trims such as SE, SRi, and VXR within the same generation and facelift period. Bear in mind that a bonnet sourced from a different trim may arrive in a different colour or with a slightly different surface finish if the original had a contrasting or special paint option, so factor in a respray if colour-matching matters to you. The breaker only needs your generation and registration to find the right panel, not your trim grade.

No, the bonnet is a front-end panel and is shared between 3-door and 5-door variants within the same Corsa generation and facelift period — door count makes no difference to bonnet fitment. Just confirm the generation and your registration with the breaker and they will be able to source the correct panel regardless of how many doors your car has.

Engine choice has no bearing on bonnet fitment for the Corsa — whether you have a 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 petrol or a diesel variant, the bonnet panel is the same within a given generation and facelift period. The key details to give a breaker are your registration number and, if you know it, your generation (C, D, E, or F), so they can pull the right part quickly.
