Hyundai i40 Bumper Replacement Parts

The Hyundai i40 was sold in the UK from 2011 to 2019, and received a facelift in 2015 which brought revised front and rear bumpers along with updated lights and grille styling. When sourcing a used bumper it is important to know which side of that 2015 boundary your car falls on, as pre-facelift and post-facelift bumpers are visually distinct. Always quote your registration to the breaker so they can confirm the exact specification.

Your 2013 car is a pre-facelift i40 and your 2017 car is a post-facelift i40, meaning they sit either side of the 2015 facelift boundary where bumpers, lights and grille changed. The two bumper designs are not the same, so a direct swap is very unlikely to work without modification. Confirm the exact part numbers with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.

Front bumpers on the i40 are shared across the saloon and tourer body styles within the same generation period, so a front bumper from a saloon should correspond to one from a tourer of the same year range. Rear bumpers are shaped differently to suit each body style, so make sure you specify saloon or tourer when asking a breaker for a rear bumper. Always confirm against your registration to be certain.

Trim level does not affect bumper fitment on the i40 — SE, Premium, and Style trims all use the same bumper shells within a given facelift period. You may find cosmetic differences such as parking sensor holes or slightly different lower trim finishes depending on options fitted to the donor car, but the core panel is the same. Check with the breaker whether sensor apertures match your car's setup if that matters to you.

2015 sits right at the facelift boundary, so cars registered in early 2015 may be pre-facelift while those registered later in 2015 onwards should be the facelifted model with the revised bumper design. The safest approach is to give the breaker your full registration so they can check the build date and confirm which style your car actually has. Do not assume based on the year alone.

The bumper panel itself is the same regardless of whether your i40 has halogen or xenon headlights, so headlight type does not change which bumper you need. However, some front bumpers have specific apertures or brackets related to headlight washer jets which are more commonly found on xenon-equipped cars, so it is worth checking that detail with the breaker against your registration. The generation and facelift period remain the key fitment factors.
