ABSTRACT:
The invention proposes an arrangement of a motor vehicle front-end unit made of a plastics material on the vehicle body. The front-end unit is comprised of a bumper having a radiator grille integrally formed thereon and is force-lockingly retained on a body support frame at, at least, two lower and three upper mounting points in the region of the longitudinal body support member, and an upper cross member interconnecting the wheel wells in holes and oblong apertures, respectively. In order to provide for an adjustable, solid and reliable mounting of the front-end unit on the vehicle body, the mounting flange of the radiator grille is provided with apertures of relatively large horizontal length which are cooperating with downwardly slanted oblong apertures arranged in the cross member so as to form an acute angle with the plane of the surface on which the vehicle is standing, and the front-end unit is adjustably fixed into position by means of fastening means which are force-lockingly extending through respective cooperating pairs of apertures.
