FAQ
Look around in the help center.
What could be the causes of the failure?
A strong impact usually results in cracks, splits, and deformations on the component, as well as damage to the fasteners. Motorists who like to drive aggressively face such injuries more often. For example, if you suddenly press the brake pedal, especially in traffic, the vehicle behind you may hit your bumper and damage it. Otherwise, if you accelerate suddenly, you may crash into the vehicle in front of your car. Impacts caused by stones, the abrasive effect of sand and dirt result in the appearance of friction and scratches.
What do you need to know about bumpers in general?
Bumpers are designed to protect the car body from damage in the event of minor collisions. They also have a decorative function and cover the fasteners and wires of the components installed on the front and rear bodywork elements of the car. On modern cars, they also protect pedestrians, preventing them from getting under the car in the event of a car-pedestrian collision. Due to their streamlined shape, they can also improve the car's air resistance characteristics.
