The bumper reinforcement has a front surface, stepped or tapered in shape, so that the bumper reinforcement retreats at a lower portion thereof more than at an upper portion thereof. The impact absorber has upper and lower portions so that the lower portion thereof is longer and stronger than the upper portion thereof. The impact absorber has a rear surface, stepped or tapered in shape, such that the rear surface of the lower portion projects toward the bumper reinforcement with respect to the rear surface of the upper portion so as to face the front surface of the bumper reinforcement.
