Exterior vehicle trim part

In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, the exterior trim part for a vehicle comprises a fibrous porous structural layer. The exterior trim part further comprises at least one at least sectional perforated film layer, which is made of thermoplastic polyurethane with a melting temperature according to DSC of at least 140&#xb0; C. The film layer is materially connected to the fibrous porous structural layer, at least in sections.

Exterior trim part

An exterior trim part for a vehicle comprises a fibrous porous structural layer. The fibrous porous structural layer consists of staple fibers, only. At least 50%, preferably between 70% and 100%, of the staple fibers comprise a first polymer made of modified polyester, such as CoPET, with a melting temperature between 150&#xb0; C. and 240&#xb0; C., preferably between 190&#xb0; C. and 240&#xb0; C.
