A method for manufacturing a vehicle part, including the steps of applying a paint layer on a first face of a transparent or translucent part, applying a varnish layer on the paint layer, partially irradiating the paint layer and the varnish layer with laser radiation so as to etch the paint layer and the varnish layer, and overmolding a semi-transparent film on a second face of the transparent or translucent part opposite the first face.

Method for manufacturing a translucent or transparent vehicle part

A sliding fastening for a plastics material part having at least one thin wall that is to be slidably fastened to a support via its thin wall, the part including in said thin wall an elongate opening having two longitudinal edges that are substantially parallel at least over a portion of their length, the fastening comprising a spacer that is separate from the part, that is thicker than the thickness of the thin wall, and that is suitable for sliding in the opening between the two longitudinal edges thereof, a cover completely covering the spacer, being larger than the opening so as to be incapable of passing through it in order to hold the thin wall in register with the thickness of the spacer, and a base for securing to the support. In the fastening the spacer and the base are united by frangible links.

A partitioned impact absorber comprising an array of partitions extending parallel to a given impact direction. The absorber is constituted by at least two mutually-engageable blocks, each block having partitions, the partitions of each block interfitting between the partitions of the other block so as to build up the array of partitions of the absorber.

Partitioned impact absorber made of two interfitting blocks, and a bumper beam including such an impact absorber

The invention relates to a bumper beam obtained by molding a moldable thermoplastic material and a drapeable thermoplastic material having continuous fibers and presented in the form of sheets. The cross-section of the beam presents a developed length that is constant. The invention also relates to a method of making such a beam.
