Ford Ka Scuttle Panel Replacement Parts

The Ford Ka ran across two distinct generations: the original Mk1 from 1996 to 2008, and the Mk2 from 2008 to 2016, which was built on a Fiat 500 platform and is a completely different car underneath. Scuttle panels are generation-specific, so a Mk1 part will not suit a Mk2 and vice versa. Always confirm the generation with your breaker alongside your registration plate to make sure you're quoted the right part.

A 2006 Ka is a Mk1 (1996–2008) and a 2009 Ka is a Mk2 (2008–2016), so these sit either side of a clear generation boundary and the scuttle panels are not interchangeable – the two cars share no common bodyshell. Confirm the exact part with your breaker using both registrations, as crossing that 2008 boundary is the key fitment issue here.

Trim level – whether that's Style, Zetec, or Titanium on the Mk2 Ka – does not affect scuttle panel fitment, as the panel is a structural pressing tied to the body platform rather than the specification level. You may find minor cosmetic differences such as finisher clips or drainage grille colour between donor cars, but the core panel interchange is trim-neutral within the same generation. Confirm this with your breaker against your registration to be certain.

The Mk1 Ka (1996–2008) was offered only as a three-door hatchback throughout its run, and the Mk2 Ka (2008–2016) was likewise a three-door hatchback in the standard model. Because the Ka was a single body style in each generation, body style variation is not a complicating factor for scuttle panel fitment in the way it would be for, say, a Ford Focus – generation is the critical boundary. Confirm the exact donor vehicle with your breaker using your registration.

The Mk1 Ka ran from 1996 to 2008 and is broadly one platform throughout, but there is a possibility of mid-generation pressing changes that could affect panel-to-panel fitment within that span. Whether a specific earlier Mk1 panel fits a later Mk1 is something you should confirm with the breaker by quoting both the donor and recipient registrations, as this falls into territory we can't state as fact without risking a mismatch.

The Ka+ launched in 2016 as a separate, newer model from the Mk2 Ka (2008–2016), and the two are built on different platforms, so their scuttle panels are not interchangeable. Whether there are any shared panel pressings between same-era variants sold under related names is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your exact registration, as we can't state that as fact. Make sure you specify clearly which model you own when requesting quotes on Findapart.
