OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front bumper (aftermarket) Prasco HD8021001 / Van Wezel 2564574

Accuracy note: Covers the Honda HR-V (2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. A front bumper is a body-coloured plastic skin, so what you buy is a primed cover that still needs painting to your paint code, and the right one depends on body style, trim, facelift date and the holes moulded into it for parking sensors, fog lights, headlamp washers or a tow eye cover. A cover without the right holes cannot be drilled accurately at home. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with the fitment details the catalogue gives; carmakers rarely publish the genuine number against these, so order a genuine cover against your VIN if you want a guaranteed match. The splitters, outer sections and trims listed separately are the parts most often sold on their own after a car-park knock.

A Genuinely Important, Free Fix Worth Asking About by Name — Honda HR-V Front Bumper

If your front parking sensors keep falsely triggering specifically in rain, this is genuinely worth knowing: Honda has run a genuine, documented replacement campaign for the front grille assembly to resolve exactly this issue, caused by rainwater collecting and running over the sensors. One documented case saw this fixed entirely free even after the warranty had already expired, with the dealer explicitly citing an active campaign.

A genuinely money-saving diagnostic check worth doing first: if the sensors seem to have never worked, it's genuinely worth checking the Safety Support or driver assistance settings menu before booking a dealer visit — the entire parking sensor system can be toggled off here, and one documented case saw sensors that appeared broken turn out to simply have been disabled from new.

It's also worth knowing that genuine Honda sensors have been found for around £13 each on eBay, and that side sensors specifically can sometimes be replaced without removing the entire bumper.

Honda HR-V Front Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel

Even a low-speed knock to the Honda HR-V's front bumper can be more involved to fix than it looks, since it usually integrates parking sensors, adaptive cruise radar, and fog light housings — all needing attention beyond a plain panel replacement.

Before you buy: bumper specification varies significantly by trim, particularly around parking sensor cutouts, radar mounting points and fog light provisions. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Honda HR-V Front Bumper: What It Does

Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the front bumper on higher trims of the HR-V often houses parking sensors, the radar sensor used for adaptive cruise control, and fog lights. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or mounting provisions for your specific trim's equipment.
