Abstract

A combination of a laterally extending bumper assembly (11) and an air spoiler (15) mounted on the front end of a vehicle. The vehicle bumper assembly comprises an ornamental face bar (12) and a bumper reinforcement (13) concealed therebehind. The air spoiler comprises an airfoil (16) extending laterally beneath the vehicle rearwardly of the bumper assembly. The airfoil is supported for swinging movement about a horizontal pivot axis (19) located in rearward spaced parallel relationship to the bumper assembly. A power operated mechanism (23) swings the airfoil about the pivot axis from a retracted substantially concealed position behind the bumper assembly to a position in which it is substantially deployed below the level of the bumper assembly to restrict the flow of air beneath the vehicle, so that the airfoil can be deployed and retracted as required. <IMAGE>
