Used Hyundai i40 Slam Panel

Yes, the Hyundai i40 has a slam panel — it is the structural panel that sits at the front of the engine bay, behind the bumper and grille, and supports the bonnet lock, radiator and front-end components. It is present on all i40 variants regardless of engine or trim level, so you are looking in the right place.

The Hyundai i40 was produced as a single generation (2011–2019) but received a facelift in 2015, which brought changes to the front end including the grille, lights and bumper. The slam panel itself sits behind these visible components, but because 2012 is pre-facelift and 2015 is at or after the facelift boundary, you should confirm with the breaker whether the mounting points and panel dimensions interchange across that boundary before buying.

Trim level does not affect slam panel fitment on the i40 — the panel is a structural front-end component shared across Classic, Style, Premium and SE trims within the same production period. The differences between trim levels are cosmetic, such as headlight type or grille finish, which sit in front of the slam panel rather than altering it. Any pre-facelift i40 slam panel should suit any pre-facelift trim, and the same applies to the post-facelift range, but always confirm the exact year with the breaker against your registration.

No — the slam panel is a front-end structural component and is shared across body styles within the same generation and facelift period, so whether the donor car is a saloon or estate (tourer) makes no difference to fitment. Focus on matching the production year relative to the 2015 facelift rather than the body style.

The 2014 i40 is pre-facelift and the 2016 car is post-facelift (facelift from 2015), which means they come from either side of the main front-end revision boundary. Whether the slam panel itself interchanges across that facelift is something you should confirm directly with the breaker, quoting your registration, as mounting points or dimensions may differ even though the part sits behind the visible front-end changes.

No — engine choice, whether petrol or diesel, does not affect slam panel fitment on the i40; the panel is common across all engine variants in a given production period. The key variable is whether your car is pre- or post-2015 facelift, so make sure the breaker matches that when sourcing the part.
