A used door lock mechanism 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 Vauxhall Tigra was produced in two distinct generations: the original Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009), and parts do not cross between them. Because the Tigra is a two-door coupé or convertible in both generations, you need to specify which side you need — NS (nearside, passenger left) or OS (offside, driver right) — along with your generation, as these are the key fitment factors. Engine choice and colour have no bearing on which lock mechanism fits.
Both the 1998 and 2001 cars fall within the Tigra A generation (1994–2001), so a lock mechanism from the same side — NS or NS, OS or OS — should be compatible in terms of fitment. That said, always confirm with the breaker against your registration to rule out any late-production running changes that are difficult to verify from the outside.
No — the Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop (2004–2009) are entirely separate generations with different body structures, so their door lock mechanisms are not interchangeable. Make sure the breaker knows which generation your car is before they pull the part, and always quote your registration to help them confirm.
No, trim level does not affect door lock mechanism fitment on the Tigra TwinTop — the mechanism is determined by the generation and the side (NS or OS), not whether the car is a base, Sport, or Design model. You may find cosmetic differences around the door furniture between trims, but the lock mechanism itself fits the same aperture regardless.
No — the engine has no bearing on door lock mechanism fitment for either generation of the Tigra; the relevant details are generation (Tigra A 1994–2001 or TwinTop 2004–2009) and side (NS or OS). Simply give the breaker your registration and confirm the side you need and they should be able to match the correct part.
Both 2004 and 2008 cars fall within the Tigra TwinTop generation (2004–2009), so a mechanism from the same side should fit in terms of generation compatibility. Confirm with the breaker against your registration in case of any mid-run production changes, and make sure to specify NS (passenger, left) or OS (driver, right) when requesting the part.
