86517-03000 Front Bumper Bracket for KIA Sportage ’08

Shown here is a front bumper bracket for the KIA designation KIA Sportage ’08. The page separates confirmed product data from the checks that still need to be completed on the vehicle.

KIA Product Data

Reference 86517-03000 identifies this Sportage 2008 front-bumper bracket. Inspect the bracket as a compact locator between the bumper skin and the vehicle-side support, not as a decorative stripe or a long reinforcement. Place the removed bracket on a flat board and photograph the complete outline, raised rib, slot direction, end stop and rear contact face. Add a scale beside the two most distant fixing centres and record the required vehicle side. At the Sportage bumper opening, capture the adjoining guide, wheel-arch return and lamp-corner area before removing damaged hardware. A dry positioning check should show that the bracket sits flush and that the bumper edge enters its guide without twisting. Do not enlarge the slots or pull the bumper into place with a fastener. If the end stop points in another direction, recheck side selection and the original part. Submit OEM 86517-03000, Sportage 2008 designation, side, quantity and delivery country with the enquiry. Request protective bagging for the small locator and keep its fasteners labelled until fitment is confirmed.

Model Association

The searchable OE identifier 86517-03000 should be compared with the marking on the removed part. A number match is strongest when the attachment layout and overall outline also agree.

Use KIA Sportage ’08 as the catalogue application, then verify the removed component before ordering.

Component Recognition Points

Begin by examining lamp or grille openings. Next, measure upper edge alignment below the lamps and capture overall corner curvature in a close-up image. These three observations create a practical evidence trail for the supplier and workshop.

• Bracket and bolt-hole spacing
• Lamp or grille openings
• Side-retainer engagement

Workshop Preparation

Avoid drilling, trimming or refinishing during the initial check. A correct version should align with the intended interface; any unexplained offset should trigger another reference and photograph review.

Installation can proceed after the technician accepts overall corner curvature plus lamp or grille openings.

Commercial Order Information

A complete B2B request includes the vehicle label, requested units, destination and the clearest photographs of the old component. Ask the supplier to confirm the product version before carton and freight terms are calculated.

No packing value is published here; request current carton dimensions and pieces per carton with the quotation.
