Radiator Support Left Connecting Plate for BYD Qin PLUS EV, OE 12140316-00

This is the left connecting plate. Side is called as you sit in the driver's seat looking forward, so left here is the near side on a right-hand drive car and the offside on a left-hand drive one. The plate is a front section of the radiator cross member, so the quickest check is to stand at the front of the car and work out which end of the cross member has been damaged. The right-hand version is a separate listing with its own OE number, and the two do not swap over. Confirm the side before ordering.

Body panels often carry a supplier reference rather than the BYD one, so a mismatch is common enough. This plate is listed under OE number 12140316-00 and is also known as HAD-5301265Q. Either of those on the old panel, or on the label of a part someone has already replaced, points at this listing. Anything else needs checking rather than guessing, because the left and right plates sit next to each other in the parts book. Send the number you have, or a photograph of the old part and its label, through the quote route and we will match it before you commit.

The delivery time is 8 to 25 days, from order to door. The packaging details are shown on this page. If the repair has a booked slot, tell us the date through the quote route before ordering. The shipping cost for your country is shown on this page and confirmed at checkout before you pay. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 12140316-00.

The plate is metal, and the colour is black. Metal is worth knowing on arrival, because it is worth looking along the mounting faces for transit knocks before the panel goes anywhere near the car. A flange that has been nudged out of true will fight you at the fixing points, and that is much easier to spot on the bench. The material and the colour are what is given, so there is no gauge or coating specification here. If the bodyshop needs that, ask through the quote route.

This plate is offered in the Original/Genuine tier only. No Aftermarket version currently exists for OE number 12140316-00, so the page carries a single option rather than a choice of two. This is a new part from BYD. If that changes it appears on this same page under the Aftermarket heading, so there is nowhere else on the site to check. Until then, if you are costing a repair and want alternatives considered, put the OE number and the damage details through the quote route and we will come back to you.
