ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a bumper structure adapted to be attached to a front end of a vehicle, which is capable of preventing a fine member from being bent downward by its own weight after integrally forming a bumper body and a grill portion together, and avoiding a problem about deterioration in appearance of the grill portion which would otherwise be caused by the fin support remaining within the grill portion, so as to provide drastically enhanced appearance of the grill portion. A fin support (5, 5, 6, 6) is formed to allow an distal end thereof to extend toward an open zone on the upper side of an opening (X), and folded about a thin-wall portion (5a,6a) in such a manner as to be engaged with an engagement pin (3a, - - - ,3a) at an edge of the opening (X) to support the fin member (4). After resin is cooled, thin-wall portion (5a,6a) is cut off to remove the fin support (5, 5, 6, 6) from the inside of the opening (X).
