Hyundai i20 Hood
Hood for the Hyundai i20 — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which i20 you are running
What Are Hyundai i20 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.
Signs You Need New Hood
Getting the right hood for your i20 first time
Does one hood listing cover every i20?
No. i20 owners are usually surprised by how much turns on the generation code — PB, then GB, then the current BC3 all sold here.The PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it.
Which engine is in my i20?
SA-market cars were sold with Kappa 1.2, Gamma 1.4 and Kappa 1.0 T-GDi (N Line). The code stamped on the block settles it — the badge on the boot does not.
What do you need from me to quote hood?
The generation code, whether the car is pre- or post-facelift, and the paint code. Facelifts within a single Hyundai generation changed bumpers, lamps and grilles without changing the model name, and the colour code on the door jamb matters as much as the part itself.
In South Africa the i20 is mostly a high-mileage commuter hatch that spends its life in stop-start city traffic, which is why wear items move faster on an i20 than on almost anything else Hyundai sells here. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i20 Hood FAQs
Will hood from another i20 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i20 sold in South Africa as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, and the PB and GB are different cars underneath despite the shared badge, so a part listed simply as "i20" is not automatically the right one — the generation code decides it. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
What should I send you when asking about i20 hood?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The i20 ran as PB, then GB, then the current BC3, so the generation is what narrows the search.

Why won't my Hyundai bonnet open?
The release cable has either stretched, seized, or snapped at the latch end. On higher-mileage cars it is a common failure. Pulling harder just makes it worse. A correct fix involves accessing the latch from underneath through the grille.
How much does it cost to replace a Hyundai bonnet?
A used bonnet plus respray typically runs R2,800-R7,600 fitted for i20, Accent. A new aftermarket panel costs more. Colour-matched used panels from Pro Hyundai Spares save weeks of painting and sanding.
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.
