One of those situations that shocks quite a few Perth owners is to pay dealership prices for replacement parts on a relatively new Kia Cerato. The Cerato is designed as a cheap sensible runabout, but a bumper ding from traffic, a T-GDI turbo component failure, a DCT gearbox issue or an advanced driver assistance sensor being knocked out of action can see the cost of using a Kia dealer quickly turning a simple repair into something far from affordable. It is certainly surprising how expensive parts are on late model Korean vehicles through official channels for a car not yet 10 years old.
There is a better way to handle it. Here in Perth WA we are destroying a 2019 Kia Cerato in Grey. The parts we are taking out are genuine OEM Kia parts and in great condition.

Kia Cerato 2019 – Practical, Modern and Full of Equipment
The Kia Cerato has evolved from its humble beginnings as a budget alternative to the mainstream Japanese competition. The fourth generation BD series was launched in Australia in 2018 and it is a truly impressive modern car. It’s a car that offers a level of style, technology, equipment and refinement that puts many of its traditional rivals firmly on the back foot. Being early in the production run of this generation, the 2019 model was a huge step up in pretty much every aspect of the ownership experience over the previous model year.
The exterior design of the BD Cerato was a real departure from the conservative styling of previous generations. The 2019 Cerato had a road presence well above its class with a sharp, aggressive character line, wide and assertive front fascia and a low, sporty roofline. It looked genuinely exciting rather than just competent and that visual confidence attracted a much broader range of buyers than previous Cerato generations had managed.
The four-door sedan and five-door hatchback versions gave buyers the real freedom to choose the format that best suits their lifestyle and tastes. The engine choices were well chosen and carefully matched to the different trim levels and buyer profiles within the Cerato range. The mainstream 2.0-litre MPI naturally aspirated petrol engine provided a smooth, reliable and efficient everyday performance that appealed to the majority of Cerato buyers, who appreciated the low running costs and hassle-free daily commuting. For a more thrilling drive, the GT version offered a 1.6-litre T-GDI turbocharged petrol engine that produced a truly spirited 150kW, making the Cerato a genuinely fun and engaging everyday performance car.
Buyers who wanted a driver-focused car had a 6-speed manual option, the ease of use buyer had the smooth 6-speed automatic option, and the T-GDI GT variant got Kia’s sophisticated 7-speed DCT dual-clutch transmission. The gearbox offered quick, accurate gear changes with good efficiency and complemented the character of the turbocharged engine perfectly. The entire range of Ceratos was front wheel drive.
Trim levels ranged from the entry level S to Sport and Sport+ to the performance orientated GT, with each step bringing more and more technology, comfort and equipment. Really, even the base S spec was well appointed by class standards, and the GT in particular came with the likes of a large 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, full LED headlights, a heads-up display, wireless phone charging and a suite of advanced driver assistance tech including autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, blind spot detection and driver attention warning. So, the result of all this modern technology and equipment is that when WA Auto Parts wreck a 2019 Kia Cerato, the parts available are really current and valuable – not old parts from a car that has been superseded by a decade of development.
The Car We’re Now Throwing Away
The vehicle we’re working on now at our Perth factory is a 2019 Kia Cerato in Grey – a colour that works perfectly with the sharp, angular body lines of the BD Cerato and has been one of the most popular colour choices by Cerato buyers since the launch of the fourth generation. Kia did offer a few grey options for the 2019 Cerato, including the classy Steel Grey (KLG), the deeper and more dramatic Platinum Graphite (KPG) and the modern Gravity Grey (KGG), all of which had their own depth, tone and character that appealed to different tastes.
This vehicle is in good overall condition and is one of the better late model wrecks we have processed in recent months and has arrived at our Perth facility. Its exterior body panels, mechanical parts, interior trim pieces, advanced electronics and ADAS sensor systems are in really excellent usable condition in a huge variety. WA Auto Parts has the best team of experienced professionals that take the same careful, professional and methodical approach to every vehicle we wreck. Parts are stripped out and checked one by one and listed clearly and described honestly before going on sale. We are 100% transparent about what we have and in what condition it is. Call our team on (08) 9358 1392 and we’ll give you the full, honest picture of what’s available right now.
2019 Grey Wrecker Kia Cerato – Parts Available
The Kia Cerato BD series is a modern, well equipped, parts rich car and this wreck offers Perth’s Cerato owners and workshops access to a genuinely impressive range of genuine OEM Kia parts. Here’s a bit more of a deep dive on what’s out there now:
Exterior components and body panels
Factory grey paint on front and rear bumper bars, bonnet, boot lid sedan or rear hatch for hatchback, all four doors, front guards, side skirts, door mouldings and door handles. If you own a Cerato and have had collision damage or wear to the panels these factory colour matched grey panels are the most practical and cost effective repair solution available in Perth at this time. The BD Cerato has sharp and complex body lines so a proper colour and finish match is particularly important. A factory grey panel from our wreck removes the cost of respraying and gives a seamless outcome that looks spot on for this generation’s distinctive styling.
Full LED Headlamps & Lighting
Full LED headlight assemblies, rear LED tail light clusters, front fog lights, side indicators and mirror housings with integrated turn signal are some of the most visually distinctive and technically impressive features of the 2019 Cerato. The full LED headlight assemblies on the 2019 Cerato are some of the most expensive single lighting components on any mainstream Korean hatchback or sedan and to get them from our wrecker rather than through a Kia dealer is a very significant financial saving for Perth Cerato owners faced with headlight damage. Give us a call early on (08) 9358 1392) to check on availability of headlights and glass as these are very fast moving items.
Turbocharger and T-GDI Engine Parts
GT variant owners have access to a range of engine components from the 1.6-litre T-GDI engine assembly, turbocharger unit, intercooler, high-pressure direct injection fuel system components, throttle body, alternator, starter motor, power steering components, cooling system parts such as radiator and thermostat housing, and various ancillary engine items. Owners of the standard MPI variant will have available cylinder head, alternator, starter motor, fuel system parts and cooling components for the 2.0-litre engine. The GT Cerato T-GDI turbocharger parts are outrageously expensive through official Kia channels and getting quality used ones from a professionally wrecked 2019 Cerato at WA Auto Parts represents some of the biggest engine part savings available from this whole wreck.
DCT Transmission and Gearbox Parts
This vehicle depending on specification is available with 7 speed DCT dual clutch transmission components for GT variants, 6-speed automatic gearbox parts and 6 speed manual transmission parts. Perth workshops and GT owners with transmission problems or failures are particularly interested in quality used DCT parts from a professionally wrecked 2019 Cerato, as the DCT transmission on the GT Cerato is a sophisticated and expensive unit to get through official Kia channels. When you call, ask our team what your specific transmission code and variant are.
Interior Trim, GT Components & Infotainment System
One of the best things about this whole wreck for Perth buyers is the inside which is in very good shape for a 2019 Cerato. Available interior parts include front and rear seats, dashboard assembly, centre console, door trim panels, carpets, headlining, GT sport steering wheel with paddle shifters where fitted, instrument cluster, heads-up display components, wireless charging pad and the large 8-inch touchscreen infotainment head unit with navigation. Cerato owners looking to upgrade their own vehicle’s specification are especially looking for GT-specific interior items including the sport seats with unique trim, flat-bottomed GT steering wheel and performance-oriented instrument cluster. “Having that opportunity to have those elements on hand from a wreck in Perth in 2019 is a real opportunity for Cerato GT enthusiasts around the city. These are really modern contemporary pieces and they are very valuable.
Suspension, Steering, Braking Components
This wreck has front and rear struts control arms sway bars steering rack parts wheel hubs and bearings brake calipers rotors and brake lines. In case of an accident or on cars that have done more kilometers than average, even a relatively new car like the 2019 Cerato, might have damaged or worn suspension components and braking parts. If you are an owner who wants true OEM quality but doesn’t want to pay the dealership premium, you will find that the cost of sourcing quality OEM replacement parts from WA Auto Parts is consistently far less than you would pay through Kia dealer channels.
Advanced) Electrical Modules ECU and ADAS Sensors
This is where the 2019 Cerato wreck becomes even more interesting for Perth workshops and owners of modern car electronics. Available parts include: Engine control unit Body control module ABS and vehicle stability control module Airbag control module Autonomous emergency braking radar sensor Lane keep assist camera Blind spot detection modules Driver attention warning system Adaptive cruise control components Wireless charging module Climate control unit Window regulators Various sensors throughout the vehicle
Some of the most expensive and hardest to source parts in Perth are the advanced driver assistance system components fitted to late model Korean vehicles – replacing an AEB radar sensor or blind spot module through Kia can cost hundreds and in some cases over a thousand dollars for a single component. WA Auto Parts’ professionally wrecked 2019 Cerato comes fitted with these systems, which is massive for Perth workshops performing ADAS related repairs and sensor replacements. Please call us on (08) 9358 1392 as soon as possible to reserve ADAS and electronic parts as these are always the first things to go from any late model vehicle wreck.
Paint Code & Colour Matching Details
Getting the grey right on a 2019 Kia Cerato is more important than it first appears. The BD Cerato’s sharper, more complex body lines make it much more noticeable when the colour tone difference between panels is slight, than on a simpler, more rounded body shape. The 2019 Cerato Grey is offered in one of three factory paint codes: Steel Grey (KLG), Platinum Graphite (KPG) or Gravity Grey (KGG). Each has its own unique depth, warmth and metallic character to really distinguish them in natural light.
Steel Grey A cool, sophisticated mid-grey with a clean, metallic look. Platinum Graphite is deeper, darker, with a more dramatic, premium personality. Gravity Grey is a contemporary mix of the two, providing great visual versatility. Call our team on (08) 9358 1392 to check the exact paint code on our vehicle and confirm if it will match your Cerato. Alternatively bring your car in and we can do a direct comparison in natural daylight or send us a clear photo and we will honestly advise you before you make any commitment. it takes an extra 5 minutes to get the grey right the first time but it is worth it.

Fitment and Compatibility Guide

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What parts can I get from the 2019 Kia Cerato Grey wreck at WA Auto Parts?
Really impressive range from this one. Cerato came in excellent overall condition so we have loads to work with. Parts available are grey colour matched body panels, doors, bonnet, boot lid, front guards, bumpers, side skirts, full LED headlight assemblies, rear LED tail lights, front windscreen, door glass, mirror assemblies, 2.0 litre MPI engine components, 1.6 litre T-GDI turbocharger and direct injection parts, seven-speed DCT gearbox components, six-speed automatic transmission parts, GT sport seats, 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, heads-up display, wireless charging module, suspension struts, control arms, brake calipers, rotors, ECU, ABS module, airbag controller, AEB radar sensor, blind spot detection modules, lane keep assist camera and various ADAS and electrical sensors throughout the vehicle. Everything is checked properly before going for sale. Please give us a call on (08) 9358 1392 with your VIN to confirm what is available right now.
Q2. I have a T-GDI turbo issue on my Cerato GT – is it safe to buy a used turbo from a wrecker for a car this new?
For most Perth Cerato GT owners in this situation, absolutely yes — and the cost saving over a new or reconditioned Kia dealer unit is genuinely significant even on a vehicle of this age. The 1.6-litre T-GDI turbocharger is an expensive part to get through official Kia channels and on a car now five or six years old the repair cost versus vehicle value equation can make a quality used part the most sensible financial decision by a considerable margin. A used turbocharger from a professionally wrecked 2019 Cerato, and one that has been properly inspected and confirmed to be in good working condition before sale, will do exactly the same job at a fraction of the cost. It’s all about making sure your engine code is matched properly, which our team does before anything is sold. Give us a call on (08) 9358 1392 and we’ll walk you through it honestly.
Q3. I have a 2019 Cerato and my full LED headlights are damaged. How much can I save buying from WA Auto Parts instead of Kia?
Quite a few actually. In fact, this is one of the most common part requests we get from late-model Cerato owners. The full LED headlight assemblies for the BD Cerato are one of the most expensive single lighting components on any mainstream Korean car at present, and the Kia dealer price for a replacement unit can genuinely shock people who have never had to replace one before. Buying a genuine OEM full LED headlight assembly from our 2019 Cerato wreck at WA Auto Parts will save Perth owners a very substantial amount compared to that dealer price – often several hundred dollars on a single headlight unit. These are also one of the fastest moving parts from any late model Cerato wreck so please give us a call on (08) 9358 1392) as soon as possible to confirm availability before someone else gets there first.
Q4. Are the 2019 Kia Cerato BD parts compatible with Hyundai Elantra/Hyundai i30?
Yes, for a number of the components – and that’s really good news for owners of those vehicles. The platform architecture of this generation is shared with the Kia Cerato BD series and the Hyundai Elantra AD series, meaning some mechanical, suspension and electrical components cross over between the two vehicles. There are also some parts that may be compatible with the Hyundai i30 PD series from the same platform era, due to extensive engineering and parts sharing between Kia and Hyundai across their compact car lineup. The Kia Ceed sold in European markets also uses the same basic platform as the BD Cerato, so some parts cross over there as well. That said, not every single part is interchangeable between all variants, which is why the right approach is always to confirm with your VIN, engine code, transmission type and build date before purchasing. Call (08) 9358 1392) and our team will check accuracy before we sell anything to ensure compatibility.
Q5. I have a 2019 Kia Cerato that was involved in an accident and is not worth repairing – will WA Auto Parts buy it from me?
Absolutely. And a 2019 Cerato in any condition is precisely the sort of vehicle we’re actively looking for. Whether your car has major front or back end damage, deployed airbags, engine or transmission damage, structural damage from a major accident or any other problem that makes repairs uneconomical, we want your car. We come straight to you anywhere in Perth, give you an absolutely honest and fair cash offer on the spot, pay you immediately and tow the vehicle away at no charge.
