Used Hyundai i40 Bonnet

The Hyundai i40 was produced as a single generation running from 2011 to 2019, so bonnets from anywhere in that overall production run are broadly from the same platform. However, the i40 received a facelift around 2015 which brought changes to the front-end styling, so a pre-facelift bonnet (2011–2015) and a post-facelift bonnet (2015–2019) may differ in panel shape or shut lines. Always confirm the exact interchange against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

A 2013 i40 is pre-facelift and a 2017 i40 is post-facelift, meaning these two cars sit on either side of the approximately 2015 facelift boundary. The bonnet profile may have changed at that point to align with the revised grille and front panel styling. You should confirm with the breaker whether the specific bonnet from a 2013 car will interchange with your 2017 registration before going ahead.

Trim level does not affect bonnet fitment on the i40 — the SE, Premium, and Sport variants all share the same front-end panel within the same facelift period. You may find that higher-spec cars have a different paint finish or minor cosmetic differences such as bonnet insulation padding, but the pressed steel panel itself is the same part. Focus on matching the facelift period to your car rather than the trim level.

No — the bonnet is part of the front-end structure and is shared across both the saloon and estate (Tourer) body styles within the same facelift period of the i40. Body style only affects rear-end panels, so you do not need to specify saloon or estate when sourcing a bonnet from a breaker.

Engine type has no bearing on bonnet fitment for the i40, as the bonnet panel is identical across the petrol and diesel variants within a given facelift period. Simply make sure the breaker's donor car matches your facelift period — pre-facelift (2011–2015) or post-facelift (2015–2019) — and engine choice can be ignored entirely.

The easiest check is the donor car's registration year: pre-facelift i40s were built from 2011 up to around 2015, and facelifted cars from around 2015 onwards. When speaking to the breaker, give them your full registration so they can cross-reference the specific part against your car, as the exact facelift cut-off point can vary and overlap across model-year stock. This is the most reliable way to avoid ending up with a panel that does not align correctly with your grille and front wings.
