Second Hand Hyundai Ioniq Side Skirt

Side skirts are not standard factory-fitted components on the Hyundai Ioniq in any of its UK variants — the Ioniq was sold in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric forms, none of which came with side skirts as original equipment. What you may be looking for is a sill panel or sill trim strip, which is the painted plastic moulding that runs along the lower edge of the door apertures and is a genuine factory part. If you have seen a car with what looks like side skirts, these are almost certainly aftermarket additions rather than used parts you would find through a dismantler supplying OEM components.

The Hyundai Ioniq (AE platform) ran from 2016 through to around 2022, with a mid-cycle facelift arriving for the 2019 model year that updated the front end, lights, and exterior detailing. Sill trims and lower body mouldings generally follow the generation platform, so pre-facelift (2016–2018) and post-facelift (2019–2022) cars share the same basic body structure at sill level. However, whether the specific moulding is interchangeable across that 2019 facelift boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration, as paint codes and clip configurations can vary.

For the OEM sill panel or lower body trim, the drivetrain variant — hybrid, PHEV, or electric — does not affect the fitment of the sill moulding itself, as all three shared the same AE platform body shell. Trim level and paint code are more relevant practical considerations, since the moulding may be body-coloured or finished differently depending on specification. Confirm the colour code with the breaker to make sure the panel matches your car.

The Ioniq's UK trim levels — SE, Premium, Premium SE, and First Edition among others — did not receive different factory sill panel designs; the underlying body moulding is the same across the range. The practical difference to be aware of is that higher trims may have body-coloured lower mouldings rather than unpainted black plastic, so a panel from a lower-spec car may need refinishing to match. As long as the year range and facelift period align with your car, trim level alone should not prevent a sill moulding from fitting.

Aftermarket side skirts designed for the Ioniq are a separate category of product from the OEM sill panel; they typically mount over or replace the standard moulding and are not the same part that a dismantler would supply from a written-off car. If you are trying to replace damaged original bodywork, search for 'sill moulding' or 'sill trim' rather than 'side skirt' when requesting quotes from breakers on Findapart. If you specifically want to add aftermarket side skirts, a breaker supplying OEM used parts is unlikely to be the right source.
