OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — no aftermarket cover listed for this generation

Accuracy note: Covers the Nissan Pulsar (C13 2014-2018) 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.

Rear bumper covers (aftermarket)	No complete aftermarket cover listed for this generation — order genuine against your VIN or use a used panel in your colour
Lower sections, corners & trims	None listed separately
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine cover varies by body style, parking sensors and tow bar, so order it against your VIN
Fitment notes	Match body style, facelift date and the holes for parking sensors or exhaust trims; covers come primed and need painting to your paint code before fitting.

A Genuinely Specific, Real Failure Point Worth Checking First — Nissan Pulsar 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 Pulsar Rear Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel

The Nissan Pulsar's rear bumper routinely integrates parking sensors, a reversing camera housing and sometimes exhaust trim finishers, which means replacing it after even minor kerb damage often involves more than a straightforward swap.

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 Pulsar Rear Bumper: What It Does

Beyond absorbing minor impacts, the rear bumper on higher trims of the Pulsar 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.
