Abstract
A vehicle bumper of molded construction and with wrap-around ends is mounted on a vehicle by two push-fit post/socket joints at the front (or rear) of the vehicle and by two side extension connectors which include secure fastenings. The side connectors can have a snap-fit feature for initial location of the bumper, with the snap-fit location being subsequently backed up by insertion of a threaded fastener. The push-fit joints require no additional securing device.
