Fitment on a used rear panel varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The Ford Ka ran across two distinct generations in the UK: the original Mk1 from 1996 to 2008, and the Mk2 from 2008 to 2016. Rear panels are generation-specific, so a Mk1 panel will not fit a Mk2 and vice versa. Within each generation, confirm the exact year of your car with the breaker as there may have been pressing changes mid-run that affect fitment.
No — 2005 is Mk1 (1996–2008) and 2009 is Mk2 (2008–2016), so these are completely different generations with different bodyshells. The rear panel is not interchangeable across that 2008 generational boundary. Source a Mk2-specific panel and confirm the exact fit with your breaker against your registration.
Trim level does not affect rear panel fitment on the Ford Ka — the bodyshell pressing is the same regardless of whether the car is a base, Collection, Zetec, or any other trim. You may find cosmetic differences such as colour or any trim-specific badges, but the panel itself will fit. Just make sure the donor car is the same generation as yours, as that is what determines compatibility.
The Mk1 Ka used a single body style throughout its run, which is helpful, but there is a possibility of mid-generation pressing changes that could affect fitment between early and late Mk1 cars. Rather than assuming all Mk1 rear panels are identical, have your breaker check the part against your specific registration to be sure.
The Mk2 Ka (2008–2016) was sold in the UK as a three-door hatchback, and the rear panel is specific to that body style. Confirm with your breaker whether there were any pressing differences between Mk2 variants — including any versions sold under related names on the same platform — as these are details best verified against your registration rather than assumed.
The most reliable approach is to give the breaker your full registration number, which lets them check the exact build of your car including generation, body style, and any mid-run changes. The Ka is a single body style in each generation, so once the generation is confirmed (Mk1 1996–2008 or Mk2 2008–2016) you are most of the way there. Trim level does not affect the panel itself, but always let the breaker cross-reference your reg before purchasing.
