Fitment questions

Does a Vauxhall Tigra actually have headrests?

Yes, the Vauxhall Tigra is fitted with headrests on both the front seats as standard. The Tigra is a two-seater coupe/convertible, so there are no rear seats and therefore no rear headrests to source. If you need a replacement, you're looking for a front nearside (NS) or offside (OS) headrest only.

Will a headrest from an early Tigra fit my later one — do the two generations interchange?

The Tigra came in two distinct generations: the original Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra TwinTop B (2004–2009). These are completely different vehicles with different seat designs, so headrests from a Tigra A will not fit a Tigra TwinTop B and vice versa. Make sure you confirm which generation your car is before ordering, and ask the breaker to verify the part matches your specific generation.

I have a 2005 Tigra TwinTop — will a headrest from a 2008 model fit?

Both the 2005 and 2008 Tigra TwinTop fall within the same Tigra B generation (2004–2009), so the headrests are generally likely to be compatible. However, seat trim and upholstery can vary, so the headrest may differ in fabric, leather finish or colour depending on the original trim level of each car. Confirm the trim level and seat style with the breaker against your registration to make sure you get a matching part.

Does the trim level affect which headrest I need on a Vauxhall Tigra?

Yes, trim level can affect headrest fitment on the Tigra because seat upholstery and style varied across trims such as Design, Sport, and Exclusiv. While the basic headrest mechanism may be similar within a generation, the covering material — cloth versus leather, for example — and colour can differ between trims. When contacting a breaker, let them know your trim level as well as the generation so they can match the headrest as closely as possible.

Does the engine make any difference to which Tigra headrest I need?

No, the engine has no bearing on headrest fitment — the seats and headrests are the same regardless of whether your Tigra has a 1.4, 1.8 or any other engine variant. Focus instead on the generation (Tigra A or Tigra TwinTop B) and your trim level when sourcing a used headrest from a breaker.

Do I need to specify nearside or offside when buying a used Tigra headrest?

It is worth mentioning to the breaker which side you need — nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) — as the headrests themselves may be identical, but the seat upholstery wear patterns or any integrated features could make one side more suitable than the other. In many cases front headrests on the Tigra are interchangeable left to right within the same trim, but confirming this with the breaker saves any unnecessary returns.
