OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front bumper grille (aftermarket) Van Wezel 2515592 / Diederichs 5292145

Accuracy note: Covers the Honda HR-V (2015-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Grilles are sold by trim and facelift, and many generations had different grilles for base, mid and top trims, with or without a radar or camera opening. Where the catalogue splits a grille into left and right or upper and lower sections, buy both halves if both are damaged. 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 match a genuine grille against your VIN if you want a guaranteed fit.

Front bumper grille (aftermarket)	Van Wezel 2515592 (right front); Van Wezel 2515591 (left front); Diederichs 5292145 (front, black)
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine grille varies by trim level, facelift and sensor options, so order it against your VIN

Confirmed: A Genuine Fault Code and Cost Figures Worth Knowing — Honda HR-V Grille

The front radar sensor on related Honda models is housed in a plastic enclosed module located centrally behind the grille emblem. A documented fault code (P2583-76) specifically indicates radar misalignment, and Honda has issued technical service bulletins addressing false "Radar Obstructed" messages triggered by snow or ice buildup on related models.

A genuinely reassuring, real pattern worth knowing: a radar obstruction warning caused by weather conditions has been documented clearing itself within just a few miles of continued driving, without needing the ignition cycled off and on.

It's genuinely worth knowing the real cost involved if a full replacement is needed: a dealer replacement and recalibration has been documented costing anywhere from around £1,150 to over £3,150, making a verified, correctly-matched used OEM sensor a genuinely more affordable option — though professional recalibration afterward is still essential.

Honda HR-V Grille: Cosmetic on the Surface, Functional Underneath

Treating the Honda HR-V's grille as a purely cosmetic part is a common mistake — it also manages radiator airflow, and on many newer models incorporates or surrounds the sensors for adaptive cruise or parking assistance. That functional role is exactly why the correct part number matters more than it might seem.

Before you buy: grille design varies significantly by trim, and higher trims may integrate radar or camera sensors behind or within the grille itself. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Honda HR-V Grille: What It Does

Beyond styling, the grille on the HR-V directs airflow to the radiator and, on trims equipped with adaptive cruise control, may house or sit directly in front of the radar sensor used for that system. A grille that looks compatible but lacks the correct sensor cutout can interfere with these systems even if it fits physically.
