Fitment on a used wheel arch liner 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 as a single generation (Mk1) from 1996 to 2008, then was replaced by the entirely new Mk2 (built on the Fiat 500 platform) from 2009 onwards, so a 2005 liner is from a completely different generation and will not fit a 2009 car. Stick to Mk1 (1996–2008) liners for pre-2009 cars and Mk2 (2009–2016) liners for 2009-onwards cars. If your car sits close to the 2008–2009 changeover, confirm the exact platform with the breaker against your registration before ordering.
Yes, arch liners are handed, so you must specify nearside (NS, passenger side) or offside (OS, driver side) when contacting a breaker. Getting the wrong side means the mounting points and shape will not match, even if the part is otherwise correct for your generation. Always double-check which corner of the car needs replacing before requesting a quote.
Trim level does not affect arch liner fitment on the Ka — the liner shape is determined by the body, not the specification level. A liner from a Studio, Style, Zetec, or Sport (Mk2 trim names) will physically fit the same corner of the same generation car. Do bear in mind that higher-spec or Sport variants may have had different colour or finish on visible plastic trim nearby, but the liner itself is the same part.
Both years sit within the Mk1 generation (1996–2008), so in principle the liner should be compatible. However, Ford made running production changes during the Mk1's long lifespan, and there is a possibility of minor pressing or fitment differences between early and later Mk1 cars. Confirm the part against your registration with the breaker before purchase to be certain.
The Mk2 Ka (2009–2016) and the Ka+ (2016 onwards) are different generations on different platforms, so their arch liners are not interchangeable. Within the Mk2 range, the Ka was only sold as a three-door hatchback in the UK, so body style variation is not a concern for that generation. Whether there are any differences between closely related platform-sharing variants should be confirmed with the breaker against your registration rather than assumed.
Ask the seller to confirm which generation it came from: Mk1 (1996–2008) or Mk2 (2009–2016), and which corner (NS or OS). If you can get the registration of the donor vehicle, a breaker can cross-reference it against yours to verify compatibility. Never buy purely on year alone if the generation is uncertain, as fitting a liner from the wrong platform will waste time and money.
