About part number 3AE807417A

A rear bumper cover forms the outer bodyline at the back of the vehicle, protecting internal structural components and absorbing light impacts. It mounts to the rear chassis and quarter panels, integrating with the tail lamps, parking sensors, and number plate housing. When fully fitted, it maintains correct panel gaps, protects underlying metalwork from road debris, and provides a clean, finished appearance to the rear end.

To confirm this is the correct component, you must match the part number 3AE807417A directly with the code stamped on your original item. On plastic body mouldings, this manufacturer part number is usually moulded or stamped into the inner surface or along an inside mounting flange. Matching this exact number ensures correct clip locations, sensor cutouts, and panel fitment regardless of vehicle specification.

Mechanics usually replace a rear bumper when it suffers structural cracks, broken mounting tabs, or severe scuffs from minor collisions and parking accidents. When installing a replacement bumper, you typically need fresh plastic retaining clips, fixings, and occasionally replacement parking sensor brackets or reflector inserts to secure the assembly properly.

  • Part type: Bumpers & Reinforcements.
  • Position on the vehicle: Rear.

About this kind of part: bumper covers

A bumper cover is the painted plastic skin across the front or the rear of a car. It is not a structural part. Behind it sit a foam or honeycomb absorber and a steel or aluminium reinforcement bar, and those are what take an impact. The cover carries the grille apertures, the number plate plinth and the openings for parking sensors, washer jets and tow eyes, so one model can take several different covers depending on how it was specified when new.

Why people replace one

  • A knock in a car park or a light collision has cracked or torn the plastic. A tear can be plastic-welded, but it rarely returns to a finish that will take paint without showing.
  • The paint has faded or crazed differently from the panels around it. A bumper flexes and sits low in the spray from the road, so it ages faster than a wing.
  • The mounting tabs along the top edge or inside the wheel arches have snapped, so the cover stands proud of the panel next to it.
  • An earlier repair has been filled and has begun to lift.

Fitting it

  • It is held by screws along the top edge, screws or clips inside each wheel arch, and plastic nuts underneath the car.
  • Lamps, grilles, sensors, washer jets and the number plate plinth usually move across from the old cover.
  • A cover is supplied either in primer or in the colour it was sprayed when new. A matching finish needs the paint code from the car's own identification plate.
  • Parking sensors go back into their own openings, and the trim rings around them are often specific to the colour.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number moulded into the old cover rather than matching the shape. A facelift changes the number while the outline can look almost the same.
  • Check whether the car has parking sensors. A cover with no sensor openings cannot be used on a car that has them, and drilling one is not a repair.
  • Count the openings and compare them: fog lamp apertures, the tow eye cover and any camera or washer cut-out differ between trim levels on the same model.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Moulded into the inside face, usually towards one end. This is the number to match against your own cover.
B Parking sensor openings — Either a row of openings across the face or none at all. This is what decides whether the cover will fit your car.
C Upper mounting tabs — The row of tabs along the top edge that screw to the slam panel. Look for any that are cracked or missing.
D Wheel arch returns — The ends that wrap around into the wheel arches. These are the first part to crack in a knock, and the easiest to overlook.
E Lamp and grille apertures — The openings for fog lamps, the grille and any camera or sensor. Hold them against your own cover before buying.
