Cheap Hyundai i30 Side Skirt

Both the 2013 and 2015 i30 fall within the second-generation Mk2 i30 (2012–2017), but 2015 sits after the facelift that arrived around 2015, which brought styling changes to the exterior. Because the facelift boundary falls between these two years, whether the side skirt panels interchange is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.

The i30 has three main UK generations: the first-generation Mk1 ran from 2007 to 2012, the second-generation Mk2 from 2012 to 2017 (with a facelift around 2015), and the third-generation Mk3 from 2017 onwards (with a facelift around 2020). Side skirts are generation-specific in their styling and mounting, so always match the donor car's generation to yours, and within a generation also check whether it's pre- or post-facelift.

Engine choice has no bearing on side skirt fitment for the i30 — the same body panels are shared across petrol and diesel variants within a generation. Trim level does not affect the underlying fitment either, though sportier trims such as SR or N Line may carry a different style of side skirt or sill extension, so the part may look different even if the mounting points are similar; confirm the visual style matches your car before purchasing from the breaker.

The hatchback, Tourer estate, and Fastback coupé all share the same platform within a generation, but the side skirts are shaped to each body style's specific roofline and door cut, so they are not interchangeable between body styles. Always make sure the breaker's donor vehicle is the same body style as yours.

Both 2019 and 2022 fall within the third-generation Mk3 i30 (2017 onwards), but 2020 brought a facelift to that generation, meaning these two cars sit on opposite sides of that styling update. Whether the side skirts interchange across the 2020 facelift boundary is not something that can be guaranteed — check with the breaker quoting you, giving them both registrations to compare.

Give the breaker your full registration number so they can confirm the exact generation, facelift period, and body style of your car and match it to the donor vehicle. It's also worth asking them to confirm the colour code if you want a close paint match, as side skirts on used parts will often need respraying regardless.
