Hyundai Veloster Right Front Fender

Not automatically. The Veloster sold in South Africa as FS, then JS, and the asymmetric three-door layout means the left and right sides are genuinely not mirror images — door, glass and trim parts must be ordered by side. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.

Usually, yes. The Veloster shares its Gamma GDi and T-GDi engines with the i30 and Elantra of the same era, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
