Front Bumper Bracket (Left) for BYD Qin PLUS EV, OE 12216448-00

Left, and left means as you sit in the driver's seat looking forward, so this is the nearside on a UK car. It carries the front bumper on that side. The right hand bracket is listed separately under its own OE number and the two are mirror images, so one will not do the job of the other. Before you order, take the old bracket off if you can and look for OE 12216448-00 on it. If the car has had front end damage before, check both sides, because an earlier repair may have left the wrong one in place.

This one is also listed as HAD-2803311. If that is what you are reading, you are looking at the same bracket as OE 12216448-00 and you are in the right place. Numbers on brackets are often stamped rather than printed and they fill with paint or corrosion, so clean the face before you decide it does not match. Where the stamping has gone entirely, or reads as something else again, send a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route on this page and we will confirm it against the OE number.

The delivery time is 8 to 25 days, from order to door. It travels in a standard box on a normal parcel service, and its packaging details are on this page. Check the delivery time against your body shop slot before you commit to one, and if the date is tight, ask through the quote route on this page. The shipping cost for your country is shown on this page and confirmed at checkout before you pay.

Metal. On a front bumper bracket that matters when the car has been hit, because metal deforms and stays deformed, and a bracket that has been pulled will not put the bumper skin back on its line even if it looks close by eye. If yours has been straightened once already, replace it rather than trying again. No thickness, grade or torque figure is given for this bracket, and we will not put numbers on this page that we cannot stand behind.

It is black and it is an exterior part, but it lives behind the bumper skin and is not on view when the car is together. On an ordinary repair it goes on as supplied and no finishing is needed. The colour describes the bracket as it arrives, not a body colour match, so do not read it as a paint code. If your car is open at the front and the bracket is visible for any reason, treat the finish as a decision for whoever is spraying the rest of the work.

The genuine BYD bracket is the only version listed for OE 12216448-00, so it is the only one we list. Where an aftermarket equivalent exists, both tiers appear on the page together and you pick. Here there is nothing to pick between. The price shown on this page is therefore for the genuine part and there is no cheaper tier hidden behind a menu. If you want an alternative reference chased up, the quote route on this page is the way to ask.
