Hyundai Matrix Right Front Fender
Right Front Fender to suit the Hyundai Matrix, cross-referenced against OEM specification and dispatched countrywide
What Are Hyundai Matrix Right Front Fender?
The right front fender is the bolt-on bodywork panel over the right front wheel, shielding the engine bay and suspension from spray. On Hyundai Getz, i20 models we see stone chips, parking dents and rust along the bottom lip where the liner bolts grip moisture against the steel.
Signs You Need New Right Front Fender
What a parts desk needs to know about your Matrix
What changes across the range
The Matrix reached South Africa as FC, and that alone changes what fits.
The tall MPV body is Matrix-specific but much of what is underneath it is Elantra XD, so mechanical parts and body parts come from two different sourcing pools.
Worth knowing: the Matrixbuilt on the running gear of the Elantra XD, which widens the sourcing net considerably.
What we check on right front fender
- •The generation code, because Matrix parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Matrix was sold with Alpha 1.6 and Beta 1.8
- •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 Matrix is mostly a compact people-carrier kept by families for the space, long after new-parts support tapered off. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Matrix Right Front Fender — Questions We Get Asked
Will right front fender from another Matrix fit mine?
Not automatically. The Matrix sold in South Africa as FC, and the tall MPV body is Matrix-specific but much of what is underneath it is Elantra XD, so mechanical parts and body parts come from two different sourcing pools. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Which engines did the South African Matrix come with?
SA-market cars ran Alpha 1.6, Beta 1.8. The code stamped on the block is what we work from — the badge on the boot is not reliable on its own.
What do I need to send to order a used fender?
The paint code and whether the car is pre- or post-facelift. The code is on the plate in the door jamb and takes ten seconds to read; the facelift question matters because Hyundai changed front-end panels inside a single generation without changing the model name. Get both right and the panel bolts straight on.
What does a Hyundai front fender cost in South Africa?
Used Hyundai fenders start around R700 for a Getz, R757 for an i20 and roughly R1,581 for an Accent through our SA supplier network. Fender liners run around R721. Send us your colour code and we will match a painted panel rather than sending bare metal for you to pay a booth for.
Fender or fender liner — which do I actually need?
The fender is the painted metal panel you see from outside. The liner is the black plastic or felt arch liner bolted behind it, keeping mud and water out of the engine bay. They replace independently, and a torn liner is both far cheaper and a far more common cause of a rattle than people assume.
Repair the dent or replace the fender?
Small dents with the paint intact are usually cheaper to pull with paintless dent repair. Creased metal, a torn arch lip or rust perforation are better replaced — and a used painted fender beats a new panel plus respray on price nearly every time. Photos with the enquiry get you a real answer rather than a range.
Is fender rust covered under warranty?
Anti-perforation cover, where a car still carries it, applies only to rust that has worked through from the inside out. Stone-chip surface rust and post-accident corrosion are not that, and owners of older cars generally report a hard time claiming. Treat it as a repair question rather than a warranty one and you will waste less time.
