Where is the bumper located?

Located at the front of the car, it is called the front bumper, and at the rear of the car, it is called the rear bumper. The car bumper is a type of accessory and a vulnerable part of the body. Below is relevant information about the bumper: Bumper composition: It consists of three parts: the outer panel, buffer material, and crossbeam. The outer panel and buffer material are made of plastic. Function: Mainly to buffer the force during impact. The anti-collision beam plays the most crucial role, made of polyester and polypropylene materials, which can protect the engine compartment from being affected as much as possible during a collision and also absorb most of the impact force.
The front bumper is located at the very front of the car, and you can immediately spot that wide plastic component when standing at the front. It wraps around areas like the grille and the bottom of the headlights, while the rear bumper is symmetrically installed at the very bottom of the rear. Not only does it protect the car body, but many modern vehicles also design it with an aerodynamic shape to reduce wind resistance. Last time I reversed and scraped the curb, it was the lower edge of the bumper that got scratched. This part absorbs impact energy during collisions, and it's always the first to suffer when parking too close to obstacles. Replacing a new bumper at the repair shop requires dismantling the entire front fascia, and the labor cost often exceeds the price of the part itself.
