Abstract
Front unit assembly of an automotive vehicle, includes a front face (7) having a central section (9) and two lateral sections (11), a bumper (17), a bumper skin (19), two laterally extending brackets (43) and two optical units (21). Each optical unit (21) and the respective front wing section (5) are fixed rigidly to the corresponding bracket (43) at a same reference point of attachment (60), the bracket (43) being endowed with an elasticity substantially greater than that of the front face (7), so that it is prone to elastic deformation as a function of relative adjustment movements of the bumper skin (19), the wing (5) and/or the optical unit (21).
