Abstract: The invention relates to a bumper (10) for a motor vehicle, with a crossmember element (20) which has preferably two homogeneous outer sections (12, 13) and a central section (11) differing from the outer sections (12, 13), wherein the central section (11) is displaced vertically downwards or upwards with respect to the two outer sections (12, 13). According to the invention, provision is made that the crossmember element (20) is constructed as an extrusion and in that at least one of the sections (11 to 13) has at least one additional element (35, 38, 39) arranged monolithically with the crossmember element (20).

Abstract: A method for producing a metallic formed hollow profile which is curved in at least one axis, in which a hollow metallic profile element is formed by means of two tool elements of a tool group which hold a cross section part of the hollow metallic profile element, on a length of the hollow metallic profile element, wherein at least two tool groups each having two tool elements which are spaced from one another are provided, wherein each of the tool groups is fixed to the hollow metallic profile element at least in regions in a forced based manner, wherein the region of the hollow metallic profile element to be formed is arranged between the tool groups, and wherein through relative movement of the tool groups to one another, the hollow metallic profile element in the freely arranged region located between the tool groups is formed at least partially.
