Hyundai i30 Bonnet Replacement Parts

The i30 has run across three generations: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 2007 to 2012, the second generation (Mk2) ran from 2012 to 2017 with a facelift around 2015, and the third generation (Mk3) arrived in 2017 onwards with a facelift around 2020. Bonnets are generally specific to their generation, so always match your car to the correct generation when requesting a quote from a breaker. Mixing across generations is very unlikely to work without modification.

This question spans the Mk2 facelift boundary, which fell around 2015, meaning a 2014 car is pre-facelift Mk2 and a 2016 car is post-facelift Mk2. The bonnet itself may or may not interchange across that facelift, as front-end panels can change alongside the updated lights and grille. We'd recommend confirming directly with the breaker against both registration numbers before committing to a purchase.

Within the same generation, the bonnet is a front-end panel shared across body styles, so the hatchback and Tourer estate use the same bonnet provided they are from the same generation and facelift period. Body length and roof style do not affect bonnet fitment, so you don't need to limit your search to one body style. Confirm the generation and facelift period match with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the i30 — the panel itself is the same across SE, SE Nav, SR, N Line and similar grades within the same generation and facelift period. The main thing to be aware of is cosmetic differences: some bonnets may have minor styling details or badge holes that vary, so check the bonnet you're buying matches the look of yours. Confirm generation and facelift period with the breaker against your registration, and you won't need to filter by trim.

No — the Mk1 (2007–2012) and Mk2 (2012–2017) are entirely separate generations with different front-end designs, so the bonnets are not interchangeable. Always source a bonnet from the same generation as your own car. When contacting a breaker, give them your registration so they can pull the exact specification.

A 2019 i30 sits in the Mk3 generation pre-facelift, while a 2022 car falls after the Mk3 facelift which arrived around 2020, meaning these two cars sit either side of a facelift boundary. Whether the bonnet itself interchanges across that boundary is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations, as front-end panels can change at facelifts even within the same generation. Don't assume they are the same without that check.
