DRIVE March 8, 2006

The assembly has a fusible support (100) to be fusible in case of impact on a hood (200). The support has two tabs (120, 130) extending transversely opposite to each other and connected by an upper plate (110), to form U shape. Lower ends of the tabs are integrated to an upper surface (310) of a front facade (300). A hollow plate plugged-in a corresponding orifice of the upper plate is deformed to dampen impact of hood. An independent claim is also included for a front fitting of a motor vehicle having a front hood.
