The Tigra came in two distinct generations: the original Tigra A, produced from 1994 to 2000, and the Tigra B (also sold as the Tigra TwinTop), produced from 2004 to 2009. These two generations share no bodywork whatsoever, so you must match your tailgate to the correct generation. Always confirm the exact year of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration.
Both years fall within the Tigra A generation (1994–2000), so in principle you are looking at the same body shell throughout that run. However, mid-generation pressing changes can sometimes affect panel fit, so confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle's year matches yours before purchasing.
The Tigra B and the Tigra TwinTop are closely related models sharing the same platform and production run (2004–2009), but whether tailgate panels interchange exactly between them is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as differences between same-platform variants sold under different names can exist. Do not assume a straight swap without checking.
Trim level does not affect tailgate fitment on the Tigra — the shell and aperture are the same regardless of whether the donor car was a base model, Sport, or Design. You may find cosmetic differences such as badges or spoiler-mounting holes depending on the donor vehicle's specification, so check those details with the breaker if they matter to you.
No — the Tigra A (1994–2000) and Tigra B (2004–2009) are entirely different generations on different platforms, and their bodywork is completely incompatible. Always source a tailgate from the same generation as your own vehicle and confirm the match with the breaker against your registration.
Engine size has no bearing on tailgate fitment for the Tigra — the body shell and tailgate aperture are the same across all engine variants within a given generation. Focus instead on matching the generation (Tigra A 1994–2000 or Tigra B 2004–2009) and confirm the donor vehicle details with the breaker.
