An illuminable vehicle component includes a visible side and a component surface that is arranged on the visible side and provided with a three-dimensional structure pattern. At least one first light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates first structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on second structure portions. At least one second light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates the second structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on the first structure portions.

Illuminable vehicle component, and motor vehicle having an illuminable vehicle component

A method integrates a display, in particular an electronic display, in an outer skin of a vehicle, in one region of a body of the vehicle. The outer skin of the vehicle body, at least in the region of the vehicle body, is formed by a plastic molding, or at least has such a plastic molding. The display is formed together with the plastic moulding, in a joint moulding step, to give a vehicle-body contour, wherein the display surface of the display faces away from the plastic molding.

Method for integrating a display in an outer skin of a vehicle body

A fastening arrangement of a supply rail in a connection region in which two bodywork components are connected to one another is provided, in which arrangement the supply rail rests on a first bodywork component and is held on the first bodywork component via a holding element. By way of the holding element, the first bodywork component is held on the second bodywork component.

Fastening arrangement and method for producing a fastening arrangement

A cladding part for a motor vehicle has an external side, and an internal side which is disposed opposite the external side. At least one sensor is disposed on the internal side. The cladding part has at least one main region and at least one functional region, wherein the functional region in terms of oscillations has a lower damping value than the main region. The functional region at least in portions is surrounded by a decoupling region, wherein the cladding part in the decoupling region has a first mechanical rigidity value and in the main region has a second mechanical rigidity value. The first rigidity value is lower than the second rigidity value.
