Introduction - MOULDING AND PROTECTION

The front and rear bumpers are made out of polypropylene and contain impact absorbing buffers.

The wheel arch housings are protected by semirigid plastic shields that protect the inner part of the compartment from external objects and offer partial acoustic insulation, while acting as a trim element for visible parts in the wheel arch housing.

The lower part of the engine compartment is protected by a cover fixed to the chassis and the bumper and, in the upper section there is a series of covers which can be easily detached for maintenance and repair operations.

The other elements (grilles, badges, trims, etc.) are designed to enhance the appearance and spirit of the vehicle.

COMPOSITION

Absorbent buffers are fitted on all car versions: two on the front strut connection beam and three on the rear trim near middle of the bumper and the two rails.

The buffers are made out of expanded polypropylene. This material is resistent to temperature changes, ageing and deformation.
