Front Bumper Assembly And Undertray
The front body structure is designed to satisfy bumper impact requirements and primarily comprises the front bumper assembly.
The front fenders which are common to coupe and convertible models, are each bolted to the front valance, front bumper casing and 'A' post. Removal and installation of the fenders is detailed in the Body and Paint Repair manual.
A GMT undertray fitted to assist air flow through the cooling pack, is secured to the bottom of the bumper casing and the body front cross-member. A small GMT air deflector fitted to the undertray at each wheelarch improves air flow in the front wheel area.
Plenum Cover and Front Seals
Protective GMT liners fitted in the wheelarches each incorporate a readily detachable panel for access to the headlamp assembly. An injection moulded plenum cover, painted Dorchester grey on all vehicles and secured to the bodywork by screws and plastic fasteners, incorporates windshield and fender seals, and screenwash connectors.
