Abstract
A bumper arrangement for vehicles is disclosed, particularly for passenger vehicles and the like. The bumper arrangement includes a dimensionally stable support and an elastic covering forming the end area of the vehicle body. The covering extends at a distance from the support and is fastened locally at the body, a recess being provided at the covering for receiving a license plate. So that the tool costs for the covering are reduced while taking into account specific requirements of different countries and to also ensure that the covering exhibits a good performance, can be mounted easily and is also repair-friendly, the elastic covering comprises several parts that are joined together in transverse direction of the vehicle.
