Used Ford Ka Rear Bumper

The Ford Ka ran across two distinct generations: the original Mk1 (1996–2008) and the Mk2 (2008–2016), which was built on a completely different platform, so rear bumpers between the two generations are not interchangeable at all. Within the Mk1 there was a facelift in 2003 that brought styling changes, and within the Mk2 there was a refresh around 2012, so even within a generation you should confirm with the breaker whether the part from their vehicle matches your exact year. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can verify the pressing against their stock.

Both 2005 and 2007 fall within the Mk1 generation (1996–2008), so they share the same basic platform and the bumper is likely to be compatible. However, the Mk1 received a facelift in 2003 which included rear styling revisions, so a pre-2003 bumper is unlikely to match a post-2003 car; since both your dates are post-facelift this is less of a concern here. Confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure no mid-run pressing changes affect your specific car.

The Mk2 Ka ran from 2008 to 2016, so both years sit within the same generation and share the same platform, making a fitment match plausible. However, the Mk2 received a mid-life refresh around 2012 which may have brought changes to the rear bumper pressing, and your dates either side of that point mean this is exactly the boundary you need to check. Route this one to the breaker with both registrations to confirm whether the parts are interchangeable.

Trim level does not determine the fundamental fitment of a Ford Ka rear bumper, as the mounting points and body structure are the same across the range regardless of whether the car is a base model or a Zetec S. That said, sportier trims like the Zetec S may have had differing bumper styling, additional cut-outs for a diffuser-style finish, or different paint-matched finishes compared with standard models, so a swap between trims may leave you with a cosmetic mismatch. The part will likely bolt on, but confirm the visual differences with the breaker before buying if appearance matters to you.

The Ka Sport was a trim variant of the Mk2 Ka rather than a separate body style, so the underlying platform and mounting points are shared with the standard Mk2. However, the Sport bumper may have different styling details or cut-outs compared with a standard-trim bumper, which could create a cosmetic difference on your car. Confirm the exact visual specification with the breaker against your registration to make sure you're happy with how it will look before committing.

The Ka+ (introduced in 2016) is a completely separate model from the original Ka and Mk2 Ka, built on a different platform entirely, so rear bumpers from either the Mk1 or Mk2 Ka will not fit a Ka+. If you own a Ka+, you need to search specifically for Ka+ rear bumpers and confirm the year of the donor vehicle with the breaker. Never assume parts cross over between the Ka and Ka+ despite the shared nameplate.
