Front End: Notes
The bodyshell structure has been lowered and the resulting space filled in with a plastic carrier structure (module carrier) with a plastic side panel. This separates the "soft" requirements of design and pedestrian protection from the "hard" requirements of rigidity, stability, high and low-speed crash performance.
The lower wheel arch carrier support creates a space which is filled with a plastic module carrier. This module carrier holds various components:
- Plastic side panel
- Plastic module carrier
- Water tank
- Front headlight
- Front fog lamp
- Auxiliary turn signal light
- Wheel arch cover
- Wheel arch trim.
