Dongfeng VL truck parts Front cover decorative cover assembly with grille 5301545-C4300

The assembly combines decorative and protective functions: the outer cover features a textured finish (matching the VL’s factory front-end styling) with integrated Dongfeng brand badging (120mm×80mm, 3D raised design) to enhance brand recognition and visual appeal. The built-in grille uses a honeycomb structure (cell size 15mm×15mm) that blocks large debris (e.g., stones, branches) from hitting the radiator while maintaining 92% airflow efficiency—critical for preventing radiator clogging during off-road hauling (e.g., mining, construction). Unlike solid decorative covers that restrict cooling, this grille-integrated design balances aesthetics with practicality, ensuring the VL’s engine stays within optimal operating temperature (82–90°C) even in high-temperature environments

Crafted from a high-performance PP+talc composite (75% polypropylene, 25% talc), the decorative cover and grille deliver exceptional impact resistance (notched Izod strength: 10 kJ/m² at -30°C) to withstand minor front-end collisions or debris impacts. The composite material resists heat deformation up to 110°C, maintaining shape under direct sunlight or engine bay heat—avoiding warping that could block radiator airflow. It also has excellent chemical resistance, withstanding exposure to road salt, diesel fuel, and car wash detergents without discoloration or cracking (tested to 500 hours of chemical immersion). Compared to brittle ABS plastic assemblies, this PP+talc design extends service life by 60% under heavy-duty use, retaining structural integrity for over 80,000 km

Engineered to endure harsh outdoor conditions, the assembly undergoes a specialized surface treatment. A UV-stabilized acrylic coating (20μm thickness) is applied to the outer cover, blocking 99% of UVA/UVB rays to prevent fading or brittleness—even after 3,000 hours of direct sunlight exposure (equivalent to 3 years of outdoor use). The coating also has hydrophobic properties, repelling rainwater and mud to keep the front-end clean and reduce maintenance frequency. The grille’s surface is treated with an anti-corrosion finish (zinc phosphate + clear passivation) to resist rust from road salt, ensuring it remains functional in snowy or coastal regions. Unlike uncoated assemblies that degrade quickly, this weather-resistant design maintains both appearance and performance in extreme climates

Designed for hassle-free replacement by fleet technicians or DIY owners, the assembly simplifies installation with precision features and complete hardware. It includes 12 pre-marked mounting holes (drilled to H9 tolerance for perfect bolt fit) and two laser-etched alignment lines that match reference points on the VL’s front cover—eliminating guesswork and reducing installation time to 30–40 minutes. The package comes with all necessary hardware: 12 M6×20mm stainless steel bolts, lock washers, and a tube of thread-locking adhesive (to prevent bolt loosening from vibration). Installation steps are straightforward: clean the front cover mounting surface, align the assembly’s marks with the front cover, secure the bolts to 12 N·m torque (per OEM specs), and verify grille alignment with the radiator. No post-installation adjustments are needed—the OEM fit ensures optimal airflow and visual harmony. Each unit undergoes impact testing, airflow efficiency checks, and dimensional inspection, backed by a 18-month warranty against defects (e.g., cracking, coating peeling, grille deformation)
