A front spoiler assembly for a motor vehicle. The front spoiler assembly includes a spoiler lip which is arranged to extend at least partially in a transverse direction of the motor vehicle in a front area of the motor vehicle. The spoiler lip includes a front side, a spoiler lip outer edge which faces away from a front part of the motor vehicle, and at least two spoiler areas. At least one actuator device moves the at least two spoiler areas either separately or together from a retracted rest position to an extended spoiler position. The at least two spoiler areas are separated from each other at the front side of the spoiler lip by at least one depression form which extends into the spoiler lip outer edge.

A method for producing a multi-component part () of a vehicle includes inserting an air-guiding device () having at least one contact portion () into a cavity () of a tool (). The method then includes heating a composite part () having at least one mating contact portion () to a melting point of at least one material of the composite part (), and heating the contact portion () of the air-guiding device () to a melting point of at least one material of the contact portion (). The method further includes inserting the heated composite part () into the cavity () of the tool () and pressing the heated composite part () into a geometry of the part while simultaneously forming an integrally bonded connection between the mating contact portion () of the composite part () and the contact portion () of the air-guiding device ().

An air-guiding arrangement for a motor vehicle has: a carrier, which is arranged on a body of the motor vehicle, and on which an air guide is provided such that it is driveable by a pneumatic drive with at least one air chamber for actuation, the at least one air chamber being arranged on the carrier such that the air guide is transferrable from a retracted basic position into a deployed maximum position, and at least one pneumatic supply line which, via at least one connector member, pneumatically connects the at least one air chamber to a pneumatics module of the pneumatic drive. The at least one pneumatic supply line is fixed to the carrier by at least one fastener.

An air-governing device () for governing an air flow into a vehicle () has a main body () with an installation section () for fastening to a body of the vehicle () and an air opening (). At least one slat () is mounted on the main body () for movement between a closed position (SP) closing the air opening () and an open position (OP) opening the air opening (). A drive device () is fastened to the main body () and generates a moving force for the slat (). A lever mechanism () forms an operative connection between the drive device () and the at least one slat (). The lever mechanism () has at least one drive lever () operatively connected to the drive device () in a torque-transmitting manner and fastened in an end position (EP) of a keyhole opening () in the main body ().
