Installing the front bumper and trim strip

The front bumper consists of several parts. It also includes a frame welded from steel stampings. There is a gap between the frame and the plastic bumper. The steel frame is fastened with two nuts to the bolts welded to the front wall, and then with two more bolted connections together with the front wall to the side members of the machine frame (when mounting a fully assembled front wall to the body).
The next assembly unit is the bumper itself, made of plastic (polypropylene EPDM with 10% talc). The bumper has the color of the car. The plastic part is factory-fitted with a spoiler made of the same material, but in black. The spoiler is connected to the bumper only with plastic caps.
This kit is mounted to the front wall with three vertically oriented bolts in the middle of the front top side; the next two bolts are placed in figured holes, which are covered with plastic covers after the assembly of the front wall and body is completed. (Under the right cover is the towing eye of the car). Two more bolts can be reached through the middle groove in the bumper. In curly holes, as well as in the recess of the bumper (designed for the central black plastic bumper trim) there are two bolts (on each side) for mounting the entire front wall to the body frame.
Side holders are inserted on both sides of the plastic part of the bumper (steel stampings). Bolts are inserted into the holes of the holders, with which both the bumper and the fender are screwed to the body frame. The recess along the entire length of the bumper is closed (as already said) after completing the assembly of the entire front wall with a body of a narrow bumper overlay. This pad is held only on plastic caps.
