The front bumper is a particularly important part of the bodywork. If it is in poor condition, then the appearance of the car will leave a lot to be desired. However, this body element is not only a decorative part of the car. The bumper has a number of different functions to protect the engine as well as the driver. In the event of a collision, the bumper must absorb a significant portion of the impact force.

It also extinguishes any negative impacts that may appear during a head-on collision with another car or any object.

Another feature of the VAZ 2114 front bumper is the special design of the bumper edge. He plays the role of a kind of spoiler. This means that the bumper significantly increases all of the key downforce metrics when driving at very high speeds.

The body kits have 2 functions:

• Decorative. The car looks more refined. As a styling for the VAZ 2114, the manufacturer developed blown body elements. They look aesthetically pleasing and at the same time increase downforce when driving at high speeds, which improves safety.
• Protective. The bumper protects the car from light shocks, damage, protects the reinforcing beam, body and other parts.

VAZ 2113/2114/2115 models are equipped with 2 bumpers:

• in front of him;
• back.

Body kits are made of 2 types of plastic material:

• thermoplastic;

The material mark is located on the inside of the body element.

During the operation of the machine, various collisions, collisions with obstacles with the subsequent deformation of the body kit can occur. Replacing the front bumper of the VAZ 2115 in this case is mandatory.
