Bumper

Bumpers are in any car. They are situated in front and back parts of the car and serve to reduce blow power in case of an accident. The previous name “buffer” doesn’t fit modern cars any more. Classical buffers were made of metal, but today bumpers are made of polyfoam. Bumper’s purpose didn’t change. The material changes its shape and in such a way energy is absorbed. The bumper cushions the blow and as a result reduces collision impact.

Bumper protects not only passengers. This auto part also can protect bicyclist or pedestrian in case of an accident. The buffer can harm bicyclist and pedestrian, but the bumper significantly cushions the blows. One more advantage of the bumper is that in case of colliding it often remains without damage. And vice versa, in case of not serious colliding buffers have dents. After colliding you need to examine the bumper. If its structure is damaged, this lowers protection effectiveness in case of the next colliding. It may happen so that hardly visible outward damage can hide a serious inside problem.

If there is not a serious damage, in majority of cases you can repair the bumper. First you need to putty scratches and dents and then again to lacquer the bumper. Any car owner can replace the bumper. To replace it you need to disassemble the headlamps. If you search for spare parts for your car, we offer you to visit our online store.
