Cheap Hyundai i30 Front Bumper

The i30 has run across three generations in the UK: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 2007 to 2012, the second generation (Mk2) ran from 2012 to 2017, and the third generation (Mk3) has run from 2017 onwards — each generation uses a different front bumper that will not interchange with the others. Within each generation there was also a facelift that updated the front end, so the year of your specific car matters. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the correct bumper for your exact build date.

This is a key question because the Mk2 i30 received a facelift in 2015, so a 2013 and a 2014 car are both pre-facelift Mk2 models and the bumper should come from the same design phase. Both years sit on the same side of the 2015 facelift boundary, which is a good sign for compatibility, but always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

The Mk2 i30 facelift arrived in 2015 and brought changes to the front-end styling including the bumper, grille, and lights, so pre-facelift (2012–2015) and post-facelift (2015–2017) bumpers are generally considered different designs. Whether a specific bumper can cross that 2015 boundary is something you need to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as panel shapes and mounting points may differ.

Front bumpers on the i30 are a front-end panel shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period, so the number of doors does not affect bumper fitment. Quote your generation and build year to the breaker rather than your body style, and they will confirm the correct part.

Trim level does not affect the basic fitment of the front bumper — an SE, SR, or N Line car within the same generation and facelift period shares the same bumper mounting points. However, you should be aware that sportier trims such as the N Line may have a different bumper styling or additional lower valance sections compared to standard trims, so the part may fit but look different if you mix trim levels. Confirm with the breaker what trim the donor bumper came from so you know what to expect cosmetically.

Both a 2017 and a 2019 i30 fall within the third generation (Mk3), which launched in 2017, so they share the same platform and front-end architecture. The Mk3 i30 received a facelift update, so you should confirm with the breaker whether both cars sit on the same side of that facelift boundary by checking against your registration before purchasing.
