Hyundai Accent Hood
Whether your Accent is an early or late build, we match the hood to your derivative rather than to the badge. Find quality Hyundai Accent scrap yard at our facility.
What Are Hyundai Accent Hood?
The bonnet is the steel or alloy panel covering your Hyundai engine bay, hinged at the windscreen edge with a safety catch at the front. We see Accent release cables stretch and snap, leaving the bonnet jammed shut and we see i20 bonnets dented by hail or rear-enders.

Accent Hood: what actually decides fitment
What changes across the range
On the Accent, X3, LC, MC and RB are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.
The Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line.
Worth knowing: the Accentthe RB generation is a close relative of the Kia Rio of the same era.
What we check on hood
- •The generation code, because Accent parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Accent was sold with Alpha 1.5/1.6 (X3, LC), Alpha II 1.6 (MC), Gamma 1.6 (RB) and U-line 1.5/1.6 CRDi on selected RB-era derivatives
- •The generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the Accent is mostly one of the deepest used-parts pools of any Hyundai in the country, which is exactly why sourcing to the correct generation matters more here than on a newer car. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Before You Order Accent Hood
Will hood from another Accent fit mine?
Not automatically. The Accent sold in South Africa as X3, LC, MC and RB, and the Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
How do you check hood actually fits a Accent?
We work backwards from the VIN: generation first, then engine family, then whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within that generation. On the Accent specifically, the Accent ran for so long in South Africa that the same name covers four distinct platforms — the change from the Alpha to the Gamma petrol family is the single biggest fitment dividing line.

How do I fix a stuck Hyundai bonnet release cable?
Pop the grille, reach the latch with a long-reach screwdriver and trip the pawl manually. Replace the cable and latch together, because cables usually break because the latch pivot seized first and needs cleaning too.
