To provide a vehicle front structure and a resin cover which can promote deformation of an intake cover or a resin cover when external force is applied from above even when inside of the intake cover or the resin cover is connected in the vertical direction.SOLUTION: A vehicle front structure 100 comprises: an intake port 102 which is provided in a dash panel 106 dividing a vehicle front part and a cabin, and allows an air conditioning unit 119 to performs air intake; and an intake cover 104 which forms a passage for guiding ambient air introduced from a cowl part 123 into the intake port. The intake cover includes: an upper wall 124 which forms an upper side of the passage; a pair of lateral walls 126, 128 which continuously extend from both ends of the upper wall in a vehicle width direction to the dash panel form both sides of the passage in a vehicle width direction; a connection part 130 which is connected with the intake part below the upper wall; and support parts 132, 134 which extend from the upper wall and are connected with the connection part and support the connection part. The support parts extend in a direction which is not perpendicular to the upper wall.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】吸気カバーや樹脂カバーの内部が上下方向で連結されていても、上方から外力を受けた場合に吸気カバーや樹脂カバーの変形を促すことができる車両前部構造および樹脂カバーを提供する。【解決手段】本発明にかかる車両前部構造１００は、車両前部と車室とを区画するダッシュパネル１０６に設けられ車室内の空調ユニット１１９による吸気が行われる吸気部１０２と、カウル部１２３から導入された外気を吸気部に案内する流路を形成する吸気カバー１０４とを備え、吸気カバーは、流路の上側を区画する上壁１２４と、上壁の車幅方向の両端から連続してダッシュパネルまで延び流路の車幅方向両側を区画する一対の側壁１２６、１２８と、上壁よりも下方で吸気部に連結される連結部１３０と、上壁から延びて連結部に接続され連結部を支持する支持部１３２、１３４とを有し、支持部は、上壁に対して垂直でない方向に延びている。【選択図】図２
