PURPOSE: A shock-absorbing structure of a front fender of a vehicle is provided to sharply reduce the head injury condition of a pedestrian when the pedestrian is run over by a vehicle. CONSTITUTION: The length of a vertical flange(110) extended from the inner upper curved portion of a front fender(100) is reduced as the prescribed length. The reduced end portion and a bent-up plastic material(120) of connecting a fender apron-upper panel(130) are settled together by a combining device. A polypropylene material having excellent fluidity and internal bending fatigue is used for the plastic material. The length of the inner vertical flange of the front fender is shortly extended and the end portion is curved and the vertical flange edge and a shotgun are separated with space part. A special bracket is mounted to the separated space part and the ends are settled to the curved end portion of the vertical flange and the top of the shotgun.
