Second Hand Peugeot 306 Rear Bumper

The Peugeot 306 was produced from 1993 to 2002 and received a significant facelift in 1997, which updated the exterior styling including the front and rear panels. When searching for a used rear bumper, knowing whether your car is pre-facelift (1993–1997) or post-facelift (1997–2002) is essential, as the two are not the same shape. Always confirm the exact cut-off against your registration with the breaker, as pressing changes around a facelift year can catch buyers out.

Almost certainly not without modification — the 1997 facelift changed the rear bumper profile, so a pre-facelift bumper (1993–1997) and a post-facelift bumper (1997–2002) are different parts. Your 1999 car falls in the post-facelift generation, while a 1996 car is pre-facelift. Always confirm this boundary with the breaker against both registrations before buying.

Yes, body style is the most important factor for a rear bumper on the 306 — the hatchback, saloon, and estate all have different rear-end designs and their bumpers are not interchangeable. Make sure you tell the breaker exactly which body style you have so they can pull the correct part. Getting this wrong is the most common fitment mistake on rear-end panels.

The rear bumper itself is shared between the 3-door and 5-door hatchback variants on the 306, as the rear-end structure is the same regardless of door count on the hatch body style. You still need to match the pre- or post-facelift generation as above. Confirm this with the breaker against your registration to be safe, as there can be minor variations between production runs.

Trim level — whether XR, SR, XSi, or any other — does not affect rear bumper fitment on the 306; the shell and mounting points are the same across the range for a given body style and generation. What you may find is that higher trims such as the XSi originally came with a painted or sportier-finished bumper, so the cosmetic finish may differ from what you expect. Any colour or finish differences are cosmetic only and do not affect whether the part physically fits.

Ask the breaker to confirm the donor car's registration or chassis details so they can verify it is the same body style (hatch, saloon, or estate) and the same generation (pre-facelift 1993–1997 or post-facelift 1997–2002) as your car. A reputable breaker on Findapart will be able to check this against your own registration. Never buy on a photo alone — rear bumpers look similar but the mounting tabs and shape differ across generations and body styles.
