Fitment on a used door hinge varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Vauxhall Tigra was produced in two distinct generations: the original Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra B TwinTop (2004–2009), and hinges from one generation will not fit the other. Both generations were two-door coupé or convertible body styles, so you also need to tell the breaker which side you need — NS (nearside, passenger/left) or OS (offside, driver/right) — and whether you need the upper or lower hinge. Always confirm your exact registration with the breaker so they can match the correct generation.
Both a 1998 and a 2000 Tigra fall within the Tigra A generation (1994–2001), so they are broadly the same body structure and a hinge from that era is generally considered compatible. That said, confirm with the breaker against your registration to rule out any mid-run production changes. Make sure you also specify NS or OS, and upper or lower hinge, when requesting a quote.
No — the Tigra A is a fixed-roof coupé and the Tigra B is a retractable hardtop convertible built on a different platform entirely, so the door structures and hinge mountings are not compatible between the two generations. You must source a hinge specifically from the correct generation for your car. Confirm your registration with the breaker to make sure they supply the right one.
No, trim level does not affect door hinge fitment on the Tigra — the hinge is determined by generation and side (NS or OS), not by whether the car is a base, Sport, or Design specification. You may find cosmetic differences like paint colour on the hinge itself, but that does not affect fitment and any used hinge can be resprayed to match. Focus on getting the correct generation and the correct NS or OS side.
The quickest way is to check your V5C registration document, which will show the year of manufacture — Tigra A ran from 1994 to 2001 and Tigra B TwinTop from 2004 to 2009, with no overlap. Visually, the Tigra B has a retractable hardtop and a noticeably more modern body style compared with the fixed-roof Tigra A. Give your full registration to the breaker and they can confirm the generation before pulling the part.
Yes — NS (nearside) refers to the passenger/left side and OS (offside) refers to the driver/right side, and the hinges are handed so they are not interchangeable between sides. You also need to specify whether you need the upper or lower hinge, as these are separate components. Always tell the breaker both the side and the position to avoid receiving the wrong part.
