Soft nose collision protection for car - has streamlined foam filled bumper on impact absorbing mountings

摘要

The outside shell of the soft-nose fitting (8) is harder than the foam filling and is deformed in small impacts. A transverse support bar (18) is embedded in the rear of the shell and is linked to the impact absorbing bumper supports (7).The shell is contoured to fit the body shape for low drag and replaces the conventional bumper. The shell has cut-outs for the lights (16) and air intake slots (17). The bottom edge has tooling holes (20) to reach the support bolts (19) and is spaced from the spoiler (12) to leave an air intake gap (14).
