Dongfeng VL truck parts Right bumper decorative cover 8406060-C4301

Built to withstand road debris impacts (e.g., small stones, gravel) and minor scratches, the decorative cover is crafted from a high-density PP+TPO composite (75% polypropylene, 25% thermoplastic olefin). This material delivers a notched Izod impact strength of 11 kJ/m² at -30°C, resisting cracking in cold climates, and a heat deformation temperature of 115°C—preventing warping under direct sunlight or engine bay heat. The composite’s flexibility allows it to absorb minor impacts (e.g., brushing against curbs) without permanent deformation, retaining its shape even after 500+ contact cycles. It also exhibits excellent chemical resistance, withstanding exposure to road salt, diesel fuel, and automotive cleaning agents without discoloration or material degradation (tested to 400 hours of chemical immersion). Compared to brittle ABS plastic covers, this PP+TPO design extends service life by 60% under heavy-duty use

Designed to align with the Dongfeng VL’s original exterior aesthetics, the decorative cover features a factory-matched finish available in two options: matte black (Pantone 19-4010 TPX) or silver metallic (Pantone 14-4102 TPX), both consistent with the VL’s bumper color scheme. The finish is applied via an electrostatic spraying process, with a 30μm-thick polyurethane topcoat that delivers a uniform texture (Ra ≤1.6μm) and 90% gloss retention after 2,500 hours of xenon lamp aging (equivalent to 3 years of outdoor use). Unlike aftermarket painted covers that chip or fade, this factory finish resists scratches (pencil hardness ≥2H) and UV damage, ensuring the VL’s front-end maintains a professional, fleet-ready appearance. The cover’s edges are also polished to a smooth finish, eliminating sharp edges that could catch on debris

Beyond aesthetics, the decorative cover provides functional protection for the VL’s right bumper and underlying parts. Its 2.5mm-thick composite structure acts as a barrier against road debris, reducing bumper scratches by 70% compared to uncovered areas. The fog light cutout includes a soft rubber gasket that seals the gap between the cover and fog light housing, preventing dust and water from entering the light assembly—extending fog light service life by 50%. The tow hook recess features a reinforced rim (3mm-thick composite) that protects the bumper’s tow hook mounting point from damage when the hook is in use. Unlike purely decorative trim pieces, this cover balances style with practicality, safeguarding critical bumper components in harsh operating environments (e.g., construction sites, rural roads)

Designed for quick, hassle-free replacement by fleet technicians or DIY owners, the cover uses a snap-on design with 8 integrated nylon 66 clips (tensile strength ≥160N) that lock into the VL’s right bumper’s pre-drilled clip holes. Installation takes 8–12 minutes: clean the bumper surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease and dust, align the cover’s clips with the bumper holes, press firmly until each clip “clicks” into place, and verify no movement during vibration testing. The clips’ flexible design allows for easy removal during bumper maintenance, without damaging the cover or bumper. For added stability, the cover’s inner surface includes a thin, adhesive-backed foam strip that adheres to the bumper, reducing wind noise by 10% and preventing water intrusion. Each unit undergoes clip retention testing, dimensional inspection via CMM, and finish quality checks, backed by a 12-month warranty against defects (e.g., clip breakage, finish peeling, composite cracking)
