Second Hand Vauxhall Tigra Side Skirt

Side skirts were a genuine factory fitment on the Vauxhall Tigra, which was sold as a sporty two-seater coupe (Tigra A, 1994–2001) and later as a convertible (Tigra B TwinTop, 2004–2009). They were fitted as standard or as part of styling packages on certain variants, so they do exist as a real part on this model. When searching for a used set, confirm with the breaker whether the skirts were factory-fitted or dealer-added on the specific car they're breaking.

The Tigra A ran from 1994 to 2001 as a single generation coupe, so a 1997 and a 1999 car are both from the same pre-facelift or post-facelift period within that run. There was a mid-cycle refresh around 1997–1998 that brought some exterior updates, so the exact year of the donor car can matter — confirm with the breaker that the skirt came from a car on the same side of that boundary as yours. Trim level and engine make no difference to side skirt fitment.

No — the Tigra A (1994–2001) and the Tigra B TwinTop (2004–2009) are completely different generations on different platforms, and their body panels, including side skirts, are not interchangeable. Always make sure the part is sourced from the same generation as your car. A breaker will be able to confirm the generation from your registration.

Engine size makes no difference to side skirt fitment on either generation of Tigra — the bodywork is the same regardless of which engine is under the bonnet. You only need to match the generation (Tigra A or Tigra B TwinTop) and, within the Tigra A, be mindful of the mid-production refresh. Let the breaker check against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not affect the fundamental fitment of side skirts on the Tigra B TwinTop, as the underlying bodywork is shared across the range. However, Sport or other styling-specification cars may have had different skirt designs or finishes compared to standard cars, so you may notice cosmetic differences if mixing trim levels. Confirm with the breaker what specification the donor car was to make sure the look matches as closely as possible.

Colour has no effect on whether a side skirt will physically fit your Tigra — it's a cosmetic difference only, and the mounting points will be the same on the correct generation car. Most used skirts will need repainting or colour-matching to your car anyway, which is normal when buying from a breaker. Just ensure you're matching the correct generation and, for the Tigra A, the correct side of the mid-production refresh before purchasing.
