Understanding Left vs Right on Your Chevrolet
SA buyers often confuse left (LH) and right (RH) when shopping for used Chevrolet parts:
- The right side is the driver’s side (steering wheel side), left side is passenger—regardless of which way you face the car.
- Key example: The Chev Spark Fog Lamp LH RH 2013+ (see product page) comes in both left and right–order carefully to match the damaged unit.
- Misordering can mean return delays and extra courier costs. Always reference the SA definition of left/right when requesting or ordering parts.
Connector Plugs & Mounting Points—Check Before You Buy
Chevrolet often changes plug types and mounting points between years or trims:
- Visually compare images of the replacement part with your removed unit, focusing on the plug shape, pin count, and location of mounting holes.
- Example: For Chev Spark 2008+ Front Wheel Bearing (shop now), check that bolt patterns match your hub before purchase.
- Ask for additional details or part numbers by using Brits Bros Part Matching service.
Year Range, Facelifts & Trim—Spot Critical Differences
Not all Chevrolet Spark, Utility or Cruze models are built the same:
- Major changes occur at facelift years (e.g., 2010 for Spark, 2014 for Cruze)—even subtle body tweaks impact fitment of bonnets, foglamp covers, handles and brakes.
- Live part example: Chev Spark Bonnet 2005-2010 (see stock), versus later models requiring totally different panel presses.
- Trim differences (LS, LT, etc.) may affect fit: sportier versions sometimes have unique spoilers, covers, or lighting assemblies.
Avoiding Common South African Buyer Pitfalls
Too many buyers waste time and money making avoidable order errors:
- Check every plug, mounting and shape detail, especially if buying for pre-owned repair.
- Never rely solely on a part’s appearance in a generic photo—always reference your VIN or ask a Trade Partner for guidance.
- Use the Request a Part form for uncertain cases and keep your fitted part on hand when checking deliveries.
- Review recent returns and mistakes at refunds policy before finalising payment.
- For ongoing trade supply, see becoming a Trade Partner.

Frequently asked questions
How do I tell if my Chevrolet part is left or right side for South Africa?
Sit inside your car as if driving: right side = driver, left side = passenger. Always use this orientation for ordering parts relevant to the South African right-hand drive market.
What if the plug or mounting points look different from my original part?
Do not fit the part. Compare carefully—if plugs or mounts do not match, the part will not work. Use the Request a Part service for verification or return via Refund & Returns.
How can I confirm the part fits my exact Chevrolet year or trim?
Check your car’s VIN, compare the part number, and match against the year and trim details shown in the part listing. When in doubt, share your info with a Trade Partner for expert confirmation.
Does Brits Bros Parts deliver Chevrolet parts countrywide and what if I ordered the wrong side?
Yes, delivery is nationwide. If you’ve made a left/right mistake, use the return process—parts in original condition can be exchanged or refunded according to policy.
