Why does a car need a front bumper? This detail is an integral part of the body and performs not only decorative functions, as it may seem at first. Yes, its appearance should be written off in the general appearance of the car, but the main thing is completely different. Its purpose is precisely to protect the car from major damage in minor traffic accidents.

This device is essentially an energy absorbing device. In general, in its form it resembles a bar. Thanks to modern design findings, the front and rear views of this spare part can be made from the most various materials, including synthetic ones. The bent edges act as spoilers that increase downforce and prevent the birth of a whirlwind astern.

Your first protector

The five-door hatchback VAZ-2114 Samara-2 is a restyled version of the VAZ-2109 and differs from its predecessors in the original design of the front end with new headlights, hood, radiator lining, and moldings. In more detail, it is necessary to dwell on the bumpers.

Vaz 2114 has two of these - front and rear. Both of them are recently made of plastic. With what it can be connected?

To answer this question, one must turn to the physical nature of the impact in a collision. It will be assumed by the front (or rear) element. If it turns out to be metal, then in this case all the energy will go to the body (and, therefore, as a consequence, to the driver). Plastic, on the contrary, will play the role of a buffer and, upon direct contact, will not resist, but will fold. Thus, it will absorb some of the impact energy.

Of course, in this case, the plastic front bumper will definitely suffer and in most cases will become unusable. But precisely because of its nature, it will help save the life of a driver or a pedestrian. For the same purpose, the VAZ concern also increased the shape of the spare part itself. If you pay attention, on the model 2114 it looks more puffy. All this is aimed at increasing the safety zone of the VAZ 2114 model. This brand of car has a wider width so that, accordingly, there is a larger area of ​​\u200b\u200bcontact with the subject of a collision. And the front bumper element will cover other body parts in 2114, sacrificing itself (although the rear one suffers no less when hit).

Most popular consumable

Such heroism is fully provided for by manufacturers, because this spare part has long become a consumable. It is for this reason that the part is produced in the color of the car body. There are certain advantages here as well. Chief among them is cost. Another positive bonus is that you do not need to spend time painting it. And the replacement itself will take no more than forty minutes.

They are painted as follows: at the very beginning they are painted over with a special primer for plastic. This must be done because at various temperatures the plastic can expand (and the paint will simply peel off).

What is ahead, what is behind this spare part with light dents is quite possible to repair on your own: you can do this by heating it with a hairdryer to a temperature of 50-60 degrees. So you can experiment even without contacting a car service, in your own garage, watching how the plastic takes on its original state.

Ease, convenience and great potential in use - these are the indicators that became the basis for the production of plastic parts to become a general global trend. VAZ, like other manufacturers, is not going to stop there - work is constantly underway to improve this body part (and not only 2114 models).

Additional accessories

Along with all the above improvements, it is quite possible to pick up some more decorative accessories for it. The most popular of them are:

• Pad on the front;
• Pad on the back;
• Net.

Let's dwell on each option in more detail.

Why are overlays needed?

Such details are usually used as an elegant and beautiful addition to general view car. Such a tuning detail for 2114 will be considered not superfluous, as it will have a large number of advantages.

The first one is, of course, appearance. The car will be transformed and will attract the attention of passers-by. And also get a more dynamic look. Each motorist is quite capable of acquiring exactly the lining that, in his opinion, will correspond to the general style of the car. And besides the decorative function, the front element is also an additional protection against minor scratches and damage and improves the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.

The main material for the production of overlays is the popular ABS plastic, which is also a very high quality material. A more budget option are chrome inserts. They are rectangular cutouts that run parallel to the wheels and look very nice. In addition, their task is to create an additional air flow that will cool the rear brake discs. Usually such products are attached in special places and give a sporty and elegant look to the car. There are options for the rear bumper element.

What are the overlays?

There are a large number of overlays on the VAZ 2114 model, which will add originality and elegance to the part. The following types can be distinguished:

• Molding;
• "Skirt".

Which one is better?

For example, chrome moldings will give a more dynamic look. They are usually installed along the decorative ribs in the front.

Being made in the form of a reflective tape, such “improvements” will look especially stylish at night, so they will give the car a cosmic and even fantastic look, and during the day they are quite capable of performing the function of parking lights.

The overlay skirt is made of plastic and helps to make the spare part more durable. It is located at the bottom and improves the aerodynamic pressing of the car to the road. A similar detail seems to push the air wall in front of the car.

By the way, there are such proposals for the rear element. They will be made of plastic and help make it more durable.

Replacement pads are also carried out on their own.

Net

Another addition is a mesh that can protect the radiator from stones and dirt flying from the road. Apart from this protective function, aluminum mesh for VAZ 2114 is a decorative element and can decorate the very appearance of transport. As a rule, it is not placed behind.

How to make a replacement ahead

It’s also good that at VAZ you can buy a part of the color you already need, and the price of a new part will be several times less than the cost of repairing an old one. So the replacement is even more profitable economically.

Such a replacement will take about an hour of your personal time. For this event, you will need the following tools:

• Crosshead screwdriver;
• Ring wrench for 10 and 8;
• Socket with a knob for 13

2. You do not need to touch the adjusting bolts on the amplifier mounting studs - we leave them in place.
3. We twist from the old bumper to the new side brackets.
4. We fix them with screws.

The reverse installation of the amplifier has its own characteristics. It is produced in a mirror order, but here you should pay attention to the fact that usually the amplifier can be adjusted in height, because it has slot-shaped holes.
