The car door (13) structure, to give protection against a side impact, has a longitudinal stiffening profile (26) and an energy-absorbent foam unit (25") within the door. The foam element (25") is of metal foam, preferably of aluminium. It is located between the outer skin (131) of the car door (13) and the stiffening profile (26) so that the inner surface of the outer door skin (131) is supported against the stiffening profile (26). The foam element (25") is a body with a plastics covering. |
