A device is provided for fixing a child seat to a support structure of a motor vehicle, including a plastically deformable holding device, which is fixed to the support structure and has a holding element to which a fixing element, which is attached to the child seat, can be fixed. In order to permit a defined movement of the holding element during deformation of the holding device, the holding device has at least one bending axis along which the holding device can be deformed when a force, such as a tensile force, acts on the holding element.

An arrangement for fastening a line holder on a wheel control element of a braked wheel, with releasable fasteners by way of which a fastening limb of the line holder can be fixed on a mating surface of the wheel control element. In order to be able to provide brake cooling without excessively increasing the unsprung wheel mass or increasing the work involved in assembly to any considerable extent, a baffle arrangement for deflecting a flow of cooling air can be mounted on the wheel control element. The arrangement can be fixed simultaneously by the fasteners of the line holder.

A front end covering for a motor vehicle has air conducting paths which extend adjacent to the roadway on both sides from the vehicle front in the direction of the front wheels. The air conducting paths extend next to one another and are curved in the vertical direction of the vehicle, one air conducting path ending in front of the front wheel and the other air conducting path being constructed as a groove directed towards the interior side of the wheel which has a cross-section open towards the roadway. The other air conducting path is constructed on the bottom with an upwardly extending guiding surface which is curved in front of the front wheel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle convexly with respect to the roadway. In this case, the air conducting path is curved in front of the front wheel concavely with respect to the roadway against the curvature of the guiding surface, and the distance between the air conducting path and the roadway is increasingly reduced, whereby a good aerodynamic flow around the wheel is achieved as well as a good cooling of the brakes.
