Vauxhall Tigra Seat Replacement Parts

The Vauxhall Tigra ran in two distinct generations: the original Mk1 (1994–2001) and the Tigra Twin Top (2004–2009), which was a roadster-style convertible. Seats from these two generations are not interchangeable, so always make sure the seat you're buying matches your generation. When searching, confirm with the breaker whether the part is listed against the Mk1 or the Twin Top to avoid an expensive mistake.

Both the 2005 and 2008 cars are Tigra Twin Tops (2004–2009), so they are the same generation and seats should correspond, subject to matching trim level and side (NS or OS). Trim level can affect the seat style, so check that both cars share the same spec before buying. Confirm the exact match with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

No — the Mk1 and the Twin Top are completely different vehicles in terms of body structure and interior, so seats from one generation will not fit the other. Always source a seat from the same generation as your car. If you're unsure which generation your car is, check your V5C or confirm with the breaker using your registration.

Trim level can matter for the Tigra because higher-specification cars were often fitted with different seat styles, bolstering, or upholstery compared to entry-level versions. If your seats are a standard cloth trim you may find a cosmetic difference if you fit seats from a higher-spec car, but the fixing points within the same generation are generally consistent. Confirm with the breaker that the seat grade matches your original to avoid an obvious mismatch in the cabin.

If your seat contains a side airbag, this is a safety-critical component and the replacement must be compatible with your car's specific SRS airbag system — fitting the wrong module could mean the airbag does not deploy correctly in a collision. You should confirm airbag module compatibility directly with the breaker against your registration, and professional fitting by a qualified technician is strongly recommended. Bear in mind that airbag modules are single-use once deployed, so always check whether the airbag in a used seat has been triggered before purchasing.

Yes — driver's (OS, right-hand side) and passenger's (NS, left-hand side) seats are handed and are not interchangeable with each other. Always specify NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote from a breaker, along with your generation and trim level. Getting this wrong is one of the most common reasons a used seat fails to fit, so double-check before you buy.
