Choosing the correct replacement bumper or vehicle light can be tricky if you're not sure what to look for. At Ferreira’s Spares, we help drivers, mechanics, and panel beaters across Gauteng source the right auto body parts, quickly and confidently.
Use this guide to make sure you’re buying a bumper, headlight, or tail light that fits your car perfectly.
Before buying any auto part, you need to know your exact vehicle specifications, including:
Make and model (e.g. Toyota Corolla, VW Polo)
Year of manufacture (important for facelift or updated versions)
Engine type and body shape (e.g. hatchback, sedan, bakkie)
If you're unsure, check your vehicle license disc or VIN number (Vehicle Identification Number).
Most bumpers, headlights, and lights have a part number stamped on the inside. If your current part is still intact—even if cracked—you can look for:
Plastic moulding numbers (e.g. PP-TD20)
OEM part codes (used by dealerships)
Manufacturer logo or series code
Providing this number to your spares supplier helps ensure a perfect match.
There are often different styles available for the same car:
Bumpers: Primed (ready to paint), raw plastic, colour-coded, or fog light compatible
Headlights: Halogen, xenon, or LED
Tail lights: Standard, LED, smoked, or aftermarket designs
Make sure you know what you’re replacing—or send a photo to confirm.
If you're unsure of the exact part, send a clear photo of your damaged bumper or light to your supplier. At Ferreira’s Spares, we use image comparisons to match parts accurately, even across model variations.
When in doubt, trust a specialist. We’ve helped hundreds of South African drivers match and replace:
Front & rear bumpers
