Technical specifications and fitment

The presented tailgate has been designed specifically for the first-generation Kia Ceed, taking into account the body geometry and factory mounting points. Its placement in the rear body zone ensures compatibility with factory hinges, locks, and seals, which facilitates installation and reduces the need for additional bodywork modifications.

The Phoenix Silver Metallic - T4W shade is a factory color used by the manufacturer, thanks to which the element fits well into the car's styling line and allows for visual consistency with the remaining body panels.

Function in the body structure

The tailgate in the Kia Ceed Mk1 plays an important role in the daily operation of the vehicle, being responsible for:

• closing and securing the luggage compartment,
• sealing the rear part of the body against water and contaminants,
• proper guidance of the body lines and maintaining aerodynamics,
• stable mounting of lighting elements and rear equipment (according to the vehicle configuration).

A well-chosen tailgate helps maintain the proper geometry of the rear body section, which is important for both user comfort and the safety and tightness of the vehicle.

Condition of the item and benefits of using a used part

The offered tailgate comes from the used parts segment, which means it is a dismantled component that retains its structural functionality. In practice, this allows for:

• reducing repair costs compared to new body parts,
• preserving the original sheet metal structure and factory fitment,
• a more sustainable approach to vehicle maintenance through the reuse of proven components.

For body shops and individual users, using an original, used tailgate is often a favorable compromise between quality and repair cost.

Application in accident repairs and restorations

The tailgate in Phoenix Silver Metallic - T4W color will work particularly well in the case of accident repairs, when it is necessary to replace a deformed or corroded rear body element. Thanks to the factory paint finish, you can limit the scope of preparatory work and focus on proper installation and gap adjustment.

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the rear body zone in your Kia and need other elements from the same group, such as additional tailgates, rear panels, or trunk lids, check the available parts in the Kia Boot lids and tailgates category.

Technical support and knowledge about dismantled parts

When selecting body components from the secondary market, it is worth using reliable sources of information regarding the quality and verification methods of the components. It is good practice to familiarize yourself with materials describing the use of dismantled parts in advanced vehicle systems – many principles regarding selection, testing, and installation can be successfully applied to body parts as well.
