OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front bumper (aftermarket) Prasco TY3301011 / Van Wezel 5437575

Accuracy note: Covers the Toyota Yaris (XP130 2011-2020) 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.

Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in the catalogue listings — the genuine cover varies by body style, trim, parking sensors and fog lights, so order it against your VIN
Fitment notes	Match body style, trim, facelift date and the holes for parking sensors, fog lights and washer jets; covers come primed and need painting to your paint code before fitting.

A Genuinely Important Technical Fact Worth Knowing First — Toyota Yaris Front Bumper

If the entire parking sensor system has stopped working rather than just one sensor, this is genuinely worth knowing: parking sensors on many Toyota models are wired in series, meaning a single faulty sensor or damaged wire can disable the whole system rather than just the affected sensor. It's worth methodically checking each sensor individually rather than assuming all have failed simultaneously.

A genuinely real, distinctive consumer grievance worth knowing about: one documented case saw a routine car wash trigger a "Parking Sensor Malfunction" warning immediately afterward, with the dealer refusing warranty coverage and blaming the car wash itself. If you experience this right after a wash, it's genuinely worth trying isopropyl alcohol on each sensor and allowing the car to fully dry before accepting a paid diagnosis.

It's also worth knowing that even a correct, genuine replacement sensor typically needs proper calibration through dealer-level diagnostic equipment before it works correctly — simply plugging in a new sensor isn't always enough.

Toyota Yaris Front Bumper: More Than Just a Plastic Panel

What seems like routine impact damage to the Toyota Yaris's front bumper often isn't a simple fix, since it typically integrates parking sensors, adaptive cruise radar and fog light housings into the bumper itself — all of which need accounting for in the repair.

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.

Toyota Yaris Front Bumper: What It Does

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