Used Volkswagen Caddy Bonnet

The Caddy Mk3 ran from 2004 to 2015, with a facelift arriving in 2010 that brought a revised front end including a new grille, bumper and headlight design. The Mk4 then followed from 2015 onwards, with its own facelift in 2020. Knowing which generation and which side of the 2010 facelift your car sits on is the key information to give a breaker when sourcing a bonnet.

These two cars fall either side of the 2010 Mk3 facelift, which is the critical boundary here — the pre-facelift (2004–2010) and post-facelift (2010–2015) Caddy Mk3 had different front-end styling. Whether the bonnet itself physically interchanges across that 2010 boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel profiles and fixings can differ at a facelift. Do not assume it will swap over without checking.

No — the bonnet is a front-end panel shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period, so the van, Kombi and Life variants all use the same bonnet for a given year range. You do not need to specify body style to the breaker; generation and facelift period are what matter. This makes sourcing from a dismantler straightforward as there is a wider pool of donor vehicles.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the Caddy — a Trendline, Highline or any other specification uses the same bonnet as the equivalent standard model within that generation and facelift period. The one thing worth noting is that bonnets from different specification vehicles may arrive with different paint codes, so a colour match or respray should be expected with any used panel. Confirm the generation and facelift year with your breaker rather than the trim name.

The Caddy Mk4 received a facelift in 2020, so a bonnet from a 2015–2020 pre-facelift Mk4 should be sourced from the same pre-facelift donor vehicles to be confident of a match. Whether a post-2020 facelift bonnet crosses over to a pre-facelift Mk4 is not something to assume — confirm this directly with the breaker using your registration, as front-end panel profiles often change at facelifts. Sticking to the same facelift period is always the safer starting point.

No, wheelbase does not affect bonnet fitment as the bonnet is part of the front-end structure, which is identical regardless of whether the vehicle is a standard or Maxi long-wheelbase model. Just give your breaker the year and confirm whether it is a pre- or post-facelift example and they will be able to match accordingly. Trim level and wheelbase can be set aside when searching for this particular part.
