How to check a car part fits your vehicle before you buy
Use your registration, generation, facelift year and body style to make sure a car accessory fits. A simple 4-step check before you order.
The quickest way to check fit is to enter your UK registration in the Enter your reg box at the top of uk.cappafe.com: we look up your vehicle’s make, model and year and show only the parts made for it. If you prefer, the four checks below take a minute.
The 4-step fit check
- Make and model — including the full model name, e.g. Transit Custom is not the same vehicle as Transit or Transit Connect.
- Generation and years — every listing names a year range, e.g. 2018–2023. Your registration document (V5C) shows the date of first registration.
- Facelift — mid-life updates often change bumpers, grilles and bonnets. Parts are listed as pre-facelift or facelift where it matters.
- Body style — estate, hatchback, SWB/LWB, single or double cab can change roof rails, windows and sills. The title says which body style the part fits.
Common mix-ups
| Looks similar | Why parts may differ |
|---|---|
| Transit vs Transit Custom vs Transit Connect | Different vehicles with different bodies |
| Facelift vs pre-facelift | Bumper, grille and bonnet shapes change |
| Estate vs saloon/hatchback | Roof rails and rear sills differ |
| Flush vs raised roof rails | Need SKY-X or SKY-Y roof bars respectively |

FAQs
Do you need my registration to look up my car?
It is optional. It finds the make, model and year for you; you can also choose them manually.
Are product photos my exact vehicle?
Images are for reference and may show a similar model — the title and fitment details are what count.
Are your parts OEM?
No. They are aftermarket accessories made for specific vehicles; brand names are used for fitment reference only.
