Second Hand Volkswagen Up Wing

The Volkswagen Up has been sold in the UK as a single generation launched in 2012, with a facelift arriving in 2016 that brought revised front-end styling including updated lights and bumpers. Wings from cars within the same pre- or post-facelift period are your safest match. Always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

A 2014 Up is pre-facelift and a 2018 Up is post-facelift, and because the 2016 facelift changed the front-end styling, there is a real risk these wings will not interchange correctly. Name that 2016 boundary to your breaker and ask them to check the panel against your specific registration. We would not recommend assuming they are the same part.

Both a 2013 and a 2015 Up sit within the pre-facelift period before the 2016 update, so they are strong candidates to share the same wing panel. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure, but the pre-facelift boundary is not a concern here.

Trim level does not affect wing fitment on the Volkswagen Up - the same body panel is used across Take Up, Move Up, High Up and other trim grades. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as paint finish or whether a side repeater aperture is present, so mention those details to your breaker. What matters is whether the car is pre- or post-2016 facelift, not the trim name.

Yes - always specify NS (nearside, left as you sit in the car) or OS (offside, right as you sit in the car) when contacting a breaker, as these are mirror-image panels and not interchangeable. Getting this wrong is one of the most common reasons a used wing turns out to be the wrong part.

No - engine size has no bearing on which wing fits a Volkswagen Up, so you do not need to include it when getting a quote. The details that matter are the model year (to establish pre- or post-2016 facelift), your registration, and which side you need.
