ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a plastic construction member, in particular an impact-absorbing external body panel, such as an engine hood or mudguard for a motor vehicle. The body panel is formed of a sandwich construction having inner and outer skins bonded to a soft core of, for example, hard foam, a honeycomb structure or paper webs. The connection between the surface of the skins and that of the core is selectively interrupted. In this way, crumple zones are formed in selected regions of the body panel.
