Rear Bumper Reinforcement Beam for BYD Seal 05, OE 12522173-00

This beam comes in two tiers. The Original/Genuine version is the BYD part, made to the specification the car was built with. The Aftermarket version comes from an independent manufacturer and is made to the same mounting points. Both tiers are priced on this page, and the OE number 12522173-00 applies to either one. Decide which tier you want before ordering, because a body shop quoting for the work will usually want to know. Use the selector above this text to switch between them.

The number stamped or labelled on the beam you are removing may not read 12522173-00. This one is also catalogued as HAD-8400020/70, which is the same part under a supplier reference. If either number matches what you can read on the old beam, you are in the right place. If the old part carries a third number, or the label has been damaged in the impact, send us a photograph of what is left through the quote route and we will check it against the OE number before you commit to the order.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. If the car is off the road and the date matters, tell us before ordering so we can confirm the position on this item. The shipping cost is confirmed with your quote. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 12522173-00.

This beam is long rather than heavy, and the packaging details are shown on this page. Length is what drives the handling here. It travels as an oversized single item and needs somebody able to take a long box at the delivery address, which usually rules out a letterbox or a small locker. Give us a delivery address where a van can stop and where the box can be received in one piece, and check the space before it arrives.

This beam is made of metal. On a rear bumper reinforcement beam that is the structural part behind the bumper cover, and a metal item can be inspected directly once the cover is off. Metal also means the part has weight and edges, so keep it in its packaging until the moment it goes on and store it dry if the repair is waiting on other parts. Nothing else about the material is given, so if you need a specific grade or finish, ask before ordering.

This one mounts on the exterior of the car, at the rear. It sits across the back of the vehicle in the bumper area rather than inside the cabin or the boot. Position matters when you are matching a part to a photograph or to a repair estimate, because a rear item and a front item can look similar in a catalogue listing. Check the rear of your own car against the images on this page and against the fitment table before you order.
