Abstract
A grill guard for a vehicle front end comprises a pair of upstanding end plates configured to extend forward and upward from a vehicle front bumper, and a cross tube extending laterally between the end plates. A one-way push-in screw retainer frictionally interlocks with the inner wall of the tube to resist removal therefrom. Disclosed are molded peripherally flanged end plates, with end plates, cross tubes and mounting brackets of molded plastics material. The cross tubes are shaped to incorporate lamp units. Headlight guards are mountable on the end brackets.
