Body and Frame: Description and Operation

Front End Body Panels

Front Bumper Assembly and Undertray

The front body structure is designed to satisfy bumper impact requirements and primarily comprises the front bumper assembly.

An undertray is fitted to assist air flow through the cooling pack. It is secured to the bottom of the bumper casing and the body front cross-member.

Hood

The hood assembly consists of a one piece inner and outer panel, clinched and bonded together with a bead sealant applied to each clinch joint. The hood opens from the front and is secured by means of a double catch in the hood latch.

Plenum Cover and Front Seals

Protective GMT liners fitted in the wheel arches each incorporate a readily detachable panel for access to the spot lamp assembly. An injection molded plenum cover is secured to the bodywork by securing clips. The plenum cover gives easy access to the windscreen wiper components and the ventilation system pollen filter.
