Abstract

A front structure 1 for a motor vehicle has holding means 4 for connecting a bumper 3 to a wing or fender 2 comprising a fastening strip 5 and a guide rail 6. The fastening strip 5 spring-elastically supports itself on the wing or fender 2 and is screwed to the guide rail 6. The bumper 3 is latched to the guide rail 6. Because of this an even joined course between the bumper 3 and the wing or fender 2 can be ensured.

Background technique [0002] Such a front end is known, for example, from DE 44 32 766 A1. In such a front end, the fastening means has a clamping body which connects the mutually opposite flanges of the fender and the bumper to one another. The bumper also has snap-in hooks for the web of the snap-back clamping body. [0003] A disadvantage of such a front end is that the exact orientation of the bumper relative to the fender cannot be permanently ensured. For example, the clamping body changes position during assembly relative to the fender, so that the position of the bumper relative to the fender is automatically changed. The change in the position of the bumper relative to the fenders affects the appearance of the front end of the body. Contents ...
