Vehicle storage compartment, closed at its end by a bodywork element

The rear storage module (2) slides between a retracted position in which a rear facade (5) lies flush with the outside face of a rear bumper (8) and an extended position in which the module is cantilevered out behind the trunk of a vehicle so that the accessories can be placed inside. The rear facade constitutes the element of bodywork to serve as a support for a license plate (7).
