Volkswagen Up Door Card Replacement Parts

The Volkswagen Up had a facelift in 2016, and while the basic body structure remained very similar across the first-generation range (2011 onwards), interior trim panels can have subtle differences across a facelift boundary. You should confirm the exact part number with the breaker against both registrations before buying, as fitment across that 2016 boundary is not guaranteed. Side and door count must also match.

Yes, door cards are a standard interior trim part fitted to all variants of the Volkswagen Up, covering the inner door panel on every door. They are present regardless of engine size or fuel type, including the e-Up electric version. Every Up has them, so there is no issue with this part not existing on the model.

Yes, this matters significantly — the front door cards on a 3-door Up and a 5-door Up are different parts because the door apertures and door shells themselves differ between the two body styles. Always make sure the donor car is the same door count as yours. The rear door cards are of course only present on the 5-door version, so those are 5-door specific by definition.

Yes, always specify the side — NS (nearside, passenger side, left) or OS (offside, driver side, right) — as left and right door cards are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. UK convention is NS for the left and OS for the right, and breakers will use these terms when listing parts. Getting this wrong means the part simply will not fit.

Trim level — whether Move Up, High Up, or any other grade — does not affect the physical fitment of the door card, as the door shell and fixing points are the same across trims. However, higher-spec cars may have door cards with additional features such as different speaker grilles, grab handle finishes, or pocket designs, so there may be cosmetic differences to expect. The card will physically fit, but check with the breaker whether the appearance matches what you want.

The 2016 facelift updated various interior and exterior elements of the Up, and while the overall body structure carried over, interior panels including door cards may have revised fixings or contours that affect direct interchange. You should name the specific registration of both cars when speaking to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference part numbers before purchasing. Do not assume a pre-facelift card will drop straight in without confirmation.
