Second Hand Hyundai i20 Front Grille

The i20 has run across two main generations in the UK: the first generation (GB/PB platform) ran from 2008 to 2014, and the second generation (BC3 platform) ran from 2014 onwards, with a facelift arriving around 2018. Front grilles are generation-specific, so a second-gen grille will not fit a first-gen car and vice versa. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact platform.

This question spans the second-generation facelift boundary: the pre-facelift second-gen ran from 2014 to around 2018, and the facelifted version followed from around 2018 onwards. The front end – including the grille, bumper and lights – typically changes at a facelift, so a 2016 grille and a 2019 grille may well be different parts. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing, as they will be able to check whether the specific panels interchange.

No – front-end panels including the grille are shared across body styles within a generation, so the door count on your i20 does not change which grille you need. What matters is the generation and whether your car is pre- or post-facelift. Give the breaker your registration and they can match the correct part regardless of how many doors your car has.

Trim level does not affect the structural fitment of the grille – the same shell fits SE, SE Connect, Premium and most other trim grades within the same generation and facelift period. You may notice cosmetic differences such as finish, chrome detailing or badging between trim levels, so a grille from a lower trim could look slightly different on a higher-spec car. The breaker can advise on finish variations once you confirm your registration and trim.

Engine choice makes no difference to front grille fitment on the i20 – the grille is determined by generation and facelift period, not by what is under the bonnet. Whether your car is a 1.0 T-GDi, 1.2 petrol or a diesel variant, the same grille applies across those engines within the same model year. Just confirm your registration with the breaker to pin down the correct generation and facelift variant.

This sits right on the generation change boundary: the first-generation i20 ran until 2014, and the second generation also launched in 2014, so a 2014 car could be either generation depending on build date. A first-gen grille will not fit a second-gen car, and with 2013–2015 you are working across that changeover period. Confirm both registrations with the breaker so they can check the exact platform before you commit to buying.
