A used quarter panel that fits one vehicle won't always fit another - even within the same model range. These questions help breakers match stock to your exact vehicle before they quote:
The i30 has run across three distinct generations: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 2007 to 2012, the second generation (Mk2) ran from 2012 to 2017 with a facelift around 2015, and the third generation (Mk3) launched in 2017 and continues to the present day. Quarter panels are generation-specific and will not interchange between these generations, so always match the part to the correct generation first. Within a generation, body style and door count must also match before anything else.
Both a 2014 and a 2016 i30 fall within the Mk2 generation (2012–2017), but the Mk2 received a facelift in 2015 and it is not certain whether the pressing for the quarter panel changed at that point. Name the generation boundary to your breaker — Mk2 pre-facelift versus Mk2 post-facelift — and ask them to confirm against both registration numbers before you buy.
Yes, body style is the single most important factor for a quarter panel. The i30 has been sold as a 5-door hatchback, a 3-door hatchback, and an estate (Tourer), and the quarter panel is completely different between each of these body styles even within the same generation. Always tell the breaker your exact body style alongside the year and generation.
No, trim level does not affect which quarter panel you need — the panel pressing is the same across SE, SE Connect, SR, Premium, and other trim grades within the same generation and body style. The only practical difference you might notice is in any factory-applied body-colour finish or minor cosmetic detailing, so it is worth discussing condition and colour code with the breaker. Confirm the generation, body style, and door count rather than worrying about trim.
No, the 3-door and 5-door hatchback quarter panels are not interchangeable — the 3-door has a longer, larger rear quarter section because there is no rear door aperture to break it up. Always specify your door count clearly when contacting a breaker, as the two parts look superficially similar but will not fit each other's body.
No, the i30 Tourer estate quarter panel is completely different from the hatchback version; the estate has a longer roofline, different trailing-edge geometry, and a distinct rear section that is unique to that body style. Make sure you specify Tourer to the breaker and match the generation (Mk2 2012–2017, or Mk3 2017-on) so they supply the correct part. Never assume a hatchback panel pulled from a breaker's yard will cross over to the estate.
