Front Bumper Bracket (Left) for BYD e3 & e2, OE 12588629-00

Yes. This is the left front bracket, which is the nearside corner on a UK car, the side nearest the kerb when you park. The right hand version is listed separately under its own OE number and the two are mirror images, so neither will do the other's job. Work out the side from the car itself with the front skin off, not from where the scuff shows on the paint, because a knock on one corner can loosen fixings further along. The fitment table on this page names the models it fits.

The Original/Genuine line is the BYD bracket, carrying the vehicle manufacturer's branding and packaging from that source. The Aftermarket line is an independent part made to the same fixing pattern and supplied new. Both are priced on this page. Insurance work and franchised dealer repairs normally call for the Original/Genuine line, because that is what the invoice is expected to show. Where you are handling the repair privately and want the front skin back on square, the Aftermarket line does that job at a lower outlay. The choice is made at the point of ordering.

They are the supplier and the manufacturer references for the same item, so either one turning up on the part in your hand is the confirmation you were after. If the number you can read is neither, do not work it out from the shape, because the left and right brackets look similar at a glance. Use the quote route on this page with your model, the build year and the number, and we will check it.

Delivery takes 8 to 25 days from your order to your door. It is worth getting the bracket on order before the car is stripped, because a front skin off the car for a fortnight is inconvenient. Where the timing has to be certain, use the quote route on this page and ask first. The shipping cost for your country is shown at checkout before you pay.

Metal, and it does matter on a front corner. A metal bracket can be dressed or drilled by a bodyshop when the mounting point behind it has been pushed, which gives a repairer a way of pulling the skin back into line. It also means yours may have bent instead of snapping, so look along it rather than only looking for a break.

No painting is needed. Black is the finish on this bracket and that is how it is supplied, ready to bolt on. Although it is an exterior part, it is a mounting bracket rather than a visible panel, so there is nothing to match against your body colour. If the front skin is being resprayed on the same job, keep spray off this bracket, since a build up of paint on the faces it bolts through will hold the skin proud of the wing. The fitment table on this page lists the models it fits.
