No two brakes are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The Tigra came in two distinct generations: the original Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop B (2004–2009), which was a roadster rather than a coupe. Brakes between these two generations are not interchangeable, so always make sure you and your breaker are working from the same generation when sourcing parts. Confirm fitment against your registration to be certain.
The Tigra TwinTop ran from 2004 to 2009 as a single generation, so brakes from across that range are generally from the same family of components. That said, engine size can affect brake specification — a 1.4 or 1.6 petrol may carry different brake dimensions to the 1.8 — so make sure you match engine size as well as generation when getting a quote from the breaker. Never assume fitment without confirming against your registration.
No — the Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop B (2004–2009) are completely different generations built on different platforms, so their brakes will not be interchangeable. If a listing spans this boundary, treat it with caution and confirm directly with the breaker that the part came from the correct generation for your car.
Trim level alone does not determine brake fitment on the Tigra TwinTop; what matters far more is the engine size fitted to your car. That said, you may find cosmetic differences such as painted calipers on some cars, so bear that in mind when inspecting a used part. Confirm the exact spec with the breaker against your registration rather than relying on trim name alone.
Yes — engine size is one of the key fitment factors for brakes, because larger or more powerful engines are often paired with uprated discs and calipers to handle the extra performance. On the Tigra TwinTop, the 1.8 may well have different brake components to the 1.4 or 1.6, so always tell the breaker your exact engine size alongside the year. Confirm fitment against your registration before purchasing.
The 16v designation refers to the cylinder head specification rather than a different engine capacity, and on its own it doesn't automatically mean the brakes differ from another 1.6 Tigra of the same generation. However, there can be mid-generation brake specification changes that aren't always obvious, so it's worth confirming with the breaker that the part matches your exact registration rather than just the engine size.
