Hyundai i30 Sill Replacement Parts

The Hyundai i30 second generation (GD) ran from 2012 to 2017, so both years sit within the same generation — however, there was a facelift in 2015 that may have introduced pressing changes to body panels including sills, and whether the pre-facelift and post-facelift sills are interchangeable is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration rather than assume.

No — the first-generation i30 (FD, 2007–2012) and second-generation i30 (GD, 2012–2017) are built on entirely different platforms, so the sills are not interchangeable between these generations. Always source a sill from the correct generation to have any chance of a proper fit.

Yes, body style matters significantly for sills; the i30 hatchback and the i30 Tourer estate have different body structures and the sill pressings will differ between them, so you must match the body style of the donor car to your own. Make sure the breaker confirms the part came from a hatchback or Tourer to match whichever you have.

Trim level does not affect the structural sill pressing itself, so an SE, Premium, or SR sill from the same generation and body style should be the same underlying panel. Be aware that some trim levels may have had body-coloured lower trims or side skirt additions fitted over the sill, so visually check what is attached to the donor part versus what your car has.

Three-door and five-door variants have sills of different lengths because the door apertures and overall roofline structure differ, so these will not be interchangeable. Always confirm with the breaker that the part came from the same door count as your vehicle.

No — the engine has no bearing on sill fitment for the i30; the sill is a structural body panel and is the same regardless of whether the car had a petrol or diesel engine. Focus on matching the generation, body style, and door count instead.
