DESCRIPTION
As protection against impacts the car is fitted with front and rear bumpers in polypropylene. These bumpers may be black or the colour of the car according to the version, except the front cooling plate and the scuffboard inserts along the length of the bumpers that remain black.
On some versions there are also scuff inserts on the side panels and doors for protection against minor impacts.
The wheel arches are covered and protected by special trims that prevent grit and gravel damaging the bodywork.
