Second Hand Ford EcoSport Sill

The sill (also called the rocker panel) is the structural body panel that runs along the underside of the car between the front and rear wheel arches, below the door openings — it exists on every variant of the Ford EcoSport. All EcoSport models, regardless of engine or trim, have sills as part of the bodyshell, so if yours is damaged or rotten you can source a used replacement from a breaker.

No — the Ford EcoSport changed generation significantly for the second generation, which launched in the UK around 2013-2014 (built on a new platform), and the bodyshell pressing is entirely different from the original Brazilian-market generation that preceded it. Sills are body-specific and will not cross between these generations, so make sure you and the breaker are both working from the same generation when sourcing.

The EcoSport received a notable facelift for 2018 which brought changes to the bodywork, and whether the sill pressing was altered at that point is not something you can assume either way. Name the facelift boundary to your breaker and ask them to confirm against your exact registration whether the sill is the same part number, as mid-generation pressing changes are exactly the kind of detail that needs checking car-to-car.

Trim level does not affect the structural sill pressing itself — the underlying panel is the same across Ambiente, Zetec, Titanium, and ST-Line variants. You may find that ST-Line or higher trims have decorative sill finishers or cladding on top of the panel that differs cosmetically, so check whether you also need the correct trim finisher to match your car's specification.

No — sills are handed, meaning the offside (driver's side, OS) and nearside (passenger's side, NS) are mirror images of each other and are not interchangeable. Always specify clearly to the breaker which side you need to avoid being sent the wrong panel.

Engine choice and drivetrain (including 4WD variants) do not affect the sill — this is a body panel determined by the generation and body structure, not by what is under the bonnet. Give the breaker your registration and confirm the generation and model year, and that is all the information needed to match the sill correctly.
