Abstract
An air guiding device is fastened to the front end of the motor vehicle and has a pneumatic operating element in order to displace the air guiding device from an inoperative position into an operative position. In order to protect the pneumatic operating element, for example, from stone throw, during a drive of the motor vehicle, the air guiding device comprises a spoiler lip comprising a flexible and elastic material, the pneumatic operating element being constructed as an inflatable hose which, viewed in the driving direction, is arranged behind the spoiler lip, and the elastic spoiler lip, in its inoperative position, resting under prestress against the front end.
