front apron; front panel


Explanation:
Hi, according to my favourite online glossary of automotive terms a front apron is "The panel behind and below the front bumper, joining the bottom ends of the front fenders", while the front panel is "A panel joining the front fender and forming a mounting for the headlights, grille, and air ducts into the engine compartment, which is often identical with the front apron where no separate apron is fitted below the front panel." (see http://www.motorera.com/dictionary/FR.HTM )

I understand that to mean that the front apron is not the part of the car that you see when you look at the front, while the front panel is what you see.

Link 1 below: a picture of "Frontverkleidung"
Link 2 below (hope it comes through): a picture of a "front apron"
(They are for different cars, but I think it's pretty clear that Frontverkleidung and front apron are one and the same part.)

Good luck
