OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front bumper (aftermarket) Blic 5510-00-8166900P

Accuracy note: Covers the Lexus NX (2014-2021) 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.

Lexus NX Front Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel

The Lexus NX's front bumper typically carries more than styling — parking sensors, adaptive cruise radar, and fog light housings are all commonly built in, so even a minor impact can mean more than a simple panel swap.

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.

Lexus NX Front Bumper: What It Does

Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the front bumper on higher trims of the NX 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.

A Genuinely Distinctive, Real Finding Worth Knowing About Persistent Sensor Warnings — Lexus NX Front Bumper

If you're facing a persistent "clean parking sensors" warning that won't clear no matter how thoroughly you clean them, this is genuinely worth knowing: one documented case saw exactly this pattern, with the alarm refusing to clear despite repeated cleaning, yet resolving itself spontaneously after a period of time had passed. It's genuinely worth knowing this specific, frustrating pattern is a real, documented occurrence on this model rather than something you're doing wrong if the warning doesn't clear immediately.

A genuinely honest finding worth knowing about sensor repair costs: the sensor component itself is often a fraction of the total cost quoted for a repair, with the labour needed to remove and refit the bumper typically accounting for the bulk of the bill — worth knowing before assuming the part itself is expensive.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that even a single sensor damaged by something as minor as a small stone chip has been documented requiring the entire bumper to be removed to access and replace it, since these sensors aren't designed to be swapped from the outside.
