Used quarter panels vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Vectra ran across two main generations sold in the UK: the B (roughly 1995–2002) and the C (2002–2008), with the C receiving a facelift around 2005. Generation matters enormously for quarter panels as the pressings are completely different between B and C, and a panel from the wrong generation will not fit. Always confirm your generation with the breaker using your registration to ensure you get the right panel.
Both years fall within the Vectra C generation (2002–2008), so they share the same basic platform, which is a good starting point. However, the C received a facelift in 2005, and it is possible that panel pressings or shut-line profiles changed across that boundary, so you should confirm with the breaker whether the pre-facelift and post-facelift quarter panels are interchangeable against your specific registration before purchasing.
Yes, body style is the most important question when buying a quarter panel: the hatch (five-door), saloon, and estate variants have completely different rear body pressures and the panels do not interchange between styles. Make sure you tell the breaker exactly which body style you have, as getting this wrong means the panel will simply not fit your car.
Trim level does not affect quarter panel fitment on the Vectra — the structural panels are shared regardless of whether your car is an LS, SXi, SRi, or any other trim. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as side moulding holes or slightly different prep around body-coloured finishers depending on what spec the donor car was, so it is worth noting your trim to the breaker so they can flag anything like that.
No — the Vectra B (1995–2002) and Vectra C (2002–2008) are entirely different platforms with different bodywork, and their quarter panels are not interchangeable. Always confirm your exact generation with the breaker using your registration before agreeing on any part.
No, estate quarter panels are unique to that body style; they are longer and shaped differently to accommodate the extended roofline and load area, so they will not fit a hatch or saloon and vice versa. When contacting a breaker, lead with 'Vectra C estate' and confirm the body style of the donor vehicle before committing to a purchase.
