Abstract

A spoiler (14) is formed with housings (60) to receive a variety of different units, such as light units (62) and brake ventilation air inlet units (64) so that a large variety of different styles of spoiler can be achieved whilst using the same base member. The spoiler has an upper lip (44) lying in a horizontal plane, and the vehicle bumper engages the upper lip, projects horizontally from the upper lip, and can slide relative thereto, so that the vehicle can suffer at least a slight impact on the bumper without damage to the spoiler. The bumper has a central portion and a pair of articulated wing portions, each covered with a skin, and the skins abut in the regions of the articulations and normally form hair-line joins. In order to secure a side trim member to a body of a vehicle, an attachment flange is provided which is fixed to the outer surface of the sill, and a bridging piece fits into a rebate provided in an upper portion of the trim member and overlaps the door ledge of the vehicle. Since the bridging piece is not a main means of attachment of the trim member it can be made relatively thin, and therefore the risk of the lower edge of the vehicle door fouling the trim is reduced, and yet the provision of the attachment flange and the rabbet section considerably enhances the strength of member in an area particularly susceptible to damage.
