German term or phrase: Abdeckteil
Quality report for the manufacture of parts for a car (in the body of the car). I wondered if it could be the mountings for the bumper but that doesn't really sound like "abdecken" so I'm not sure.

  -> Thanks Bernd
agree  phillee: Cover yes but I think this might also be the cosmetic bit that entirely covers the rigid "real" bumper.
1 hr
  -> Thanks phillee. Do cars still have rigid "real" bumpers today? Mine doesn't!
