Bonnet Assembly for BYD e3, OE 12818316-00

This bonnet is listed in both tiers and both are priced on this page. Original/Genuine is the BYD panel. Aftermarket is a second route to the same OE number 12818316-00, with no separate maker named for it. Because the reference is shared, the fitment table applies whichever you take. Panels are painted after they arrive, so the choice is usually made with the bodyshop that will be doing the finishing. Ask them first, and use the quote route if you want the Aftermarket route confirmed.

Go by either, because both belong to this panel. The OE number is 12818316-00 and it is also known as EL-8402010/77. Panels of this kind carry a label or a stamp on the underside, often set into the inner frame. Find it on the bonnet you are replacing and compare it with the two numbers here. A match to one of them is enough. If you find nothing readable, or nothing that agrees, send us a photograph of the bonnet and its label through the quote route instead.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. If you need the timing checked for a trade address, ask through the quote route. The shipping cost is confirmed with your quote. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 12818316-00. If anything about the timing matters for a booked repair, ask through the quote route on this page.

The packaging details are shown on this page. This is a wide, flat consignment rather than anything you carry in one hand. You need a flat, dry place to lay it down until the bodyshop takes it. Confirm the delivery address can take an item of that size before ordering, and raise any access problem through the quote route in advance.

The material given for this bonnet is metal, and nothing further than that word is stated. No thickness, coating or finish detail is held, so none is asserted here. What follows for you is the handling. A panel of this size is easy to distort if it is not supported properly. Lay it flat, keep it supported at the edges, and check the OE number before it goes anywhere near a spray booth.

This bonnet sits at the front of the car, over the engine bay, which is the hinged panel above that compartment. It is a single centre panel, not a handed one, so there is no left or right version to choose here. Confirm your BYD e3 against the fitment table on this page before ordering, since panel profiles change between model years. Then compare the OE number with the marking on the bonnet you are taking off, and pass both to whoever is doing the paintwork.
