Abstract
A method for mounting on a motor vehicle at least one transverse understructure member and a technical front panel to be mounted at a longitudinal end of a frame structural member including two transversely opposite rails and two transversely opposite portions of the frame structural member, in particular hinging members for holding the vehicle headlights. The method includes placing the technical front panel in a vertical position on the transversely opposite portions of the frame structural member, and transversely positioning the technical front panel on the portions.

A method for mounting, on a motor vehicle, at least one transverse underbody structure element and a technical front panel to be mounted at a longitudinal end of a body shell structure element including two transversely opposed rails and two transversely opposed parts of the body shell structure element, comprising:
- positioning the technical front panel on a transverse underbody structure element via a connecting mechanism that allows the technical front panel to pivot about an axis that is transverse and allows the technical front panel a vertical translational movement;
- pivoting the technical front panel forward about the connecting mechanism of the transverse axis;
- moving the underbody structure element and the technical front panel in the tilted position upward as far as the vehicle;
- pivoting the technical front panel such that at least a first mechanism carried by an upper edge of the technical front panel encounters a complementary second mechanism carried by at least one of the transversely opposed parts of the body shell structure element;
- pushing the technical front panel rearward on the motor vehicle so that the first mechanism rides up onto the second mechanism, the technical front panel lifting up from the transverse underbody structure element.
