front bumper

Car's forward shield

The front bumper is the protective bar or panel at the forward end of a vehicle, designed to absorb impact in low-speed collisions.

Originally simple metal bars, modern front bumpers integrate with the body styling and house sensors, fog lights, and air intakes: The front bumper took the brunt of the fender bender.
