Hyundai H100 Body Parts — Sourced by Generation

Yes, and it is the first thing we check. The H100 sold here as Porter, Porter II and the H100 bakkie, and dropside, tipper and canopy conversions mean the load body is frequently not standard, so load-bed and rear-body parts have to be matched to the conversion rather than to the model. Give us the generation code and the rest follows quickly.

the 2.5 and 2.6 diesels as badged on the SA derivatives. Body Parts fitment often follows the engine family rather than the model name, so the code on the block is worth reading before you order.

Body panels are the exterior components forming your Hyundai's outer shell, divided into two types: outer body panels like doors, fenders, bonnet and boot that you see and touch and inner structural panels that form part of the chassis framework. Outer panels on models like the Tucson or Sonata are typically bolt-on components ranging from R2,500 to R8,500 each, while structural panels require specialized repair. Both types protect mechanical components and passengers while defining the vehicle's aerodynamics and appearance.

Common signs include visible dents or creases from parking incidents, misaligned panel gaps indicating impact damage, rust bubbles especially around South African coastal areas and paint damage from UV exposure or stone chips. On Hyundai models, check door alignment, bonnet-to-fender gaps and boot closure—misalignment often indicates underlying structural issues requiring immediate attention. Prices for panel beating range from R800 to R3,500 depending on severity, while full panel replacement costs R2,500 to R12,000 per panel.

Major panels include doors (front and rear), bonnet, boot lid or tailgate, front and rear fenders (mudguards), bumpers, roof panel and quarter panels behind rear doors. Your Hyundai also has sills below the doors, pillars (A, B, C) connecting roof to body and valances below bumpers. Models like the Hyundai Accent have additional components like side skirts and mirror housings that complement the main body structure.

Genuine Hyundai body panels range from R1,800 for small components like mirror covers to R15,000 for major panels like bonnet or doors on models like the Creta or Santa Fe. Aftermarket alternatives cost 30-50% less but may affect resale value and insurance claims. Labour for professional fitting adds R1,200 to R4,500 depending on complexity, with paintwork adding another R2,500 to R6,000 for colour-matched finish including primer and clear coat.

Minor dents can be repaired through paintless dent removal (PDR) costing R500 to R1,500 per panel at South African panel beaters, preserving original paint. Deeper damage requires traditional panel beating, filler application, sanding, priming and repainting, costing R2,500 to R5,000 per panel. Severely damaged panels on Hyundais, especially those with crease lines or compromised structural integrity, should be replaced rather than repaired to maintain safety standards and prevent future rust issues in SA's climate.
