Abstract
A bumper face is comprised of an upper portion and a lower portion. An opening portion is formed between the upper and lower portions. A bumper mesh is comprised of a mesh body located at the opening portion and a bumper face lower reinforcing portion that is located inside of the lower portion of the bumper face and connected to a lower end of the lower portion. The bumper mesh includes an extension portion that extends rearward from a lower end of the bumper face lower reinforcing portion and is connected to the lower portion of the shroud. Accordingly, the rearward movement of the bumper face lower reinforcing portion can be surely prevented, without increasing the number of parts, and thereby the prevention of dragging of a pedestrian can be improved.
