Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a vehicle front bumper cover;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged left side elevational view of the vehicle front bumper cover;

FIG. 3 is an enlarged right side elevational view of the vehicle front bumper cover;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the vehicle front bumper cover;

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the vehicle front bumper cover; and,

FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of the vehicle front bumper cover.

The vehicle front bumper cover is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. Any functional features of the vehicle front bumper cover are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design. The broken line represents an internal boundary of the design, the line itself and the area within forming no part of the claim.

Claims
