What are the airbumps of the Citroen C4 Cactus?

Model: Citroen C4 Cactus - Years 2014-2020
Part: Body

What are the airbumps on the Citroen C4 Cactus exactly? They are not decorations, but a functional system to protect the bodywork from small everyday accidents, such as tight parking, door dings from other cars, supermarket cart bumps, scratches while transporting bicycles, all impacts that would cause dents and scratches on a traditional car. They are also a strong stylistic element that makes the C4 immediately recognizable; they are not solid rubber; they have an outer layer of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) which is a much more durable material than common rubber; underneath the surface there are air bubbles that, when pressed, compress to absorb the energy of the impact, cushioning the blow before it reaches the sheet metal. Pressing them with a finger, we will feel them give slightly, before returning to their original shape. They protect the bodywork from minor damage and reduce repair costs; in case of damage, they can be easily removed and replaced thanks to a quick snap clip system.
