Used Side Bodywork Parts

Side bodywork parts are part of the car's exterior and serve cosmetic, structural, access and protective purposes. They include front and rear doors, sliding side doors, wheel arch liners, side steps, side skirts and door seals.

Doors are among the most exposed parts of a vehicle. They take knocks in car parks, side impacts, scrapes, dents, vandalism and wear on hinges, locks and seals. On vans and MPVs, sliding doors tend to see heavy use, so their mechanisms and panels can deteriorate over time.

Why do a car's side parts deteriorate?

Corrosion is a common cause, especially on the lower part of the doors, the wheel arches and the side steps. Build-up of moisture, mud, salt or dirt can encourage rust, particularly on older vehicles or those driven in coastal areas. Wheel arch liners, side steps and side skirts can also be damaged by kerbs, stones on the road or minor accidents.

Types of side parts available

• Front and rear doors (right and left): structural side parts, ready to fit and supplied in the vehicle's original colour.
• Sliding side doors: common on vans, MPVs and heavily used commercial vehicles.
• Wheel arch liners: protect the inside of the wheel arches from mud, water and stones, preserving the bodywork.
• Side steps: protect the underside of the vehicle and make getting in easier on SUVs, 4x4s and vans.
• Side skirts and door seals: exterior parts with a cosmetic, aerodynamic and sealing function.
