Front Bumper Reinforcement Beam for BYD e3, OE 12818279-00

Both tiers appear on this page for this beam. The Original/Genuine version is the BYD part. The Aftermarket version is an alternative supply route to the same OE number, and no separate maker is named for it here. Both are priced on this page, so the comparison is in front of you. Which one to take is a judgement about how you want the car put back together, and the OE number 12818279-00 is the same reference either way. If you want the Aftermarket route confirmed before ordering, use the quote route.

Two references sit on this record. The OE number is 12818279-00 and the beam is also known as EL-8400010/77. Structural parts are often stamped or labelled with the second style rather than the first, so an unfamiliar marking is common enough. Compare what is on the beam you have taken off against both of these. If either matches, you are on the correct listing. If neither does, send the marking to us through the quote route rather than ordering on the strength of the shape.

Timing here has two parts. 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 OE number on your old part against the one on this page.

The packaging details are shown on this page. This travels as a long item, so plan for that shape rather than a small parcel. You need a delivery address that can take a package of that size and somebody there to receive it, which usually means a workshop rather than a doorstep. Check access before you order. If the address is difficult for long goods, tell us through the quote route beforehand.

Yes, the material given for it is metal. Nothing further is stated, so nothing here is claimed about grade, coating or strength. For you as a buyer, metal is consistent with it being a formed section rather than solid stock. Inspect it against the beam you removed when it arrives, particularly the mounting faces at each end, and confirm the OE number before any part of the front end goes back together.

This beam sits on the exterior of the car at the front. That is the structural member behind the bumper cover rather than anything you see with the car assembled. It is not a handed part, so there is no left or right choice to make on this page. Confirm your BYD e3 in the fitment table first, then compare the OE number with what has come off the car. If the front end has taken a knock, have the surrounding mountings inspected by the bodyshop.
