Abstract

A front portion of an under cover fastened to a cross member extends to the front, so that the extension is formed as a mounting bracket for a bumper face. A lower impact absorbing member is integrally formed on the bracket which lower impact absorbing member has a rib provided to erect from the bracket in such a manner as to be opposed to an inner vertical surface of a lower protruding portion of the bumper face and a plurality of beads disposed behind the rib for transmitting an impact from the rib to the cross member, to thereby provide a bumper structure with appropriate impact absorbing function at a lower portion thereof, with a simple structure and without increasing the number of components.
