The Volvo S40 Bumper is the front line of defense for the car and thus absorbs low-speed impacts to protect the sheet metal, lights and highly importantly the occupants. The initial models in the model line took the industry trend of exposed chrome-plated steel Bumper bars mounted on brackets, which were a rugged yet heavy solution that could only push aside minor obstacles. In the case with Volvo, this part was soon incorporated into painted bodywork, which was more aesthetically pleasing but occasionally reduced impact distance. The 1970s regulatory reforms brought on board bulky five-mile-per-hour assemblies that, though cumbersome, saved the owner the cost of repairs since the energy could not deform the body shell. In modern iterations of the Volvo compact S40, the bare metal has been replaced by a plastic skin covering the thick reinforcement beam supported by crushable foam or honeycomb in such a way as to form a layer of cushion that then converts collision impact to harmless deformation before striking vital structure. This development demonstrates the interaction between material selection and mount depth to achieve the balance between style and weight and practical safety. A cracked Bumper is no longer able to direct force in the right direction, hence replacing it with an unbroken original factory-spec one ensures occupant safety is maintained and the sleek Scandinavian looks are restored, which make Volvo vehicles identifiable. Visual inspections of cracks, dents or flaking paint are performed during regular checks, which can help detect early trouble.
