front wing
Car's front panel
Front wing refers to a forward aerodynamic component on a vehicle, particularly in Formula 1 and other open-wheel racing cars, where it generates downforce and directs airflow around the car: The driver damaged his front wing on the first corner.
In architecture and estate planning, a front wing is a section of a building that projects forward from the main structure.
