OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — rear bumper (aftermarket) Blic 5506-00-1638950P

Accuracy note: Covers the Nissan Note (E12 2013-) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. A rear 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, facelift date and the holes moulded into it for parking sensors, a tow bar cut-out or exhaust trims — a cover without the sensor 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 lower sections, corner pieces and trims listed separately are the parts most often sold on their own after a car-park knock.

A Genuinely Specific, Real Failure Point Worth Checking First — Nissan Note Rear Bumper

If your reversing camera has stopped working suddenly, this is genuinely worth checking: the wire connecting the camera runs through a rubber pipe or grommet at the point between the boot lid or tailgate and the main body — a location that flexes every time the boot is opened and closed. Over time, this is a well-documented point where the wire can genuinely snap from fatigue. Checking this specific spot and splicing in a new section has resolved this fault directly in documented cases.

A genuinely frustrating, real fuse-labelling trap worth knowing about: one documented case on a related model found the correct fuse labelled incorrectly both on the fuse box lid itself and in the official wiring diagram — neither label mentioned the reversing camera or lights at all. If you're struggling to identify the correct fuse from official documentation, it's worth knowing the labelling itself may simply be wrong.

It's also genuinely worth knowing that the Body Control Module on related platforms can only be properly reset using Nissan's proprietary Consult diagnostic software — disconnecting the battery genuinely does nothing to reset it.

Nissan Note Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel

The Nissan Note's rear bumper carries more hardware than older cars used to — parking sensors, a reversing camera housing, occasionally exhaust trim finishers — which is exactly why even a minor kerb knock can mean more than just ordering a replacement panel.

The sequence is much the same on this generation: wheel-arch liner screws, the fixings along the boot aperture and under the lower edge, then unclip each corner from the wing and unplug any sensor loom before the cover comes away.

Before you buy: bumper specification varies significantly by trim, particularly around parking sensor cutouts and camera housings. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Nissan Note Rear Bumper: What It Does

Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the Note often houses parking sensors, a reversing camera, and sometimes integrated exhaust finishers. A bumper that looks compatible can still be missing the correct cutouts or wiring provisions for your specific trim's equipment.
