The motor vehicle comprising an aerodynamic underbody flap () rotating about a transverse axis () and a lower transverse structure () arranged at the rear of the lower part of a front bumper (). The rear part of the lower transverse structure () comprises guide means () which, in the event of a frontal impact, guide the backward movement of the lower transverse structure () such that the rear face of the lower transverse structure () comes into contact with the axis () of the aerodynamic underbody flap ().

Bumper reinforcement produced by molding a thermoplastic material and intended to be integrated into a motor vehicle front assembly between a bumper and a technical part. The bumper reinforcement comprises at least one mounting plate that is intended to bear at least one sensor, said mounting plate being integrally formed with said bumper reinforcement and connected by its perimeter thereto via a fragile material bridge such that, in the event of a frontal impact resulting in deformation of the bumper reinforcement and impacting the mounting plate, the mounting plate detaches fully or partially from the bumper reinforcement under the effect of the rupture of the material bridge.

The supporting piece is intended to be mounted at the end of a motor vehicle side member, this side member including, in the continuation thereof, a plate for mounting a transverse impact beam. The supporting piece includes a bearing surface for an absorber positioned in front of this bearing surface, the bearing surface being arranged in such a way as to extend under the mounting plate and substantially parallel thereto when the supporting piece is mounted at the end of the side member. The supporting piece is shaped in such a way that it does not deform irreversibly when the vehicle suffers an insurance impact.
