PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a scratch by preventing the contact of a tool with a bumper and perform the assembly efficiently by mounting the bumper after fitting a bumper protection tool which covers a fringe face of an opening for storing a combination lamp of the bumper in the opening in advance and inserting a tightening tool into the opening of the protection tool to connect it. SOLUTION: A bumper protection tool 12 is inserted internally in an opening provided in a front bumper 3 to store a combination lamp. The bumper protection tool 12 consists of a cylindrical section 13 and a collar section 14 and is made of a thin flexible resin. An opening 13a which stores the combination lamp is provided on the inner side of the cylindrical section 13. A tightening tool T such as impact wrench is inserted through the opening 13a and is tightened. At this time, even if the tightening tool T oscillates up and down and to the right and left, it is protected by the bumper protection tool 12 and does not come into contact with the front bumper 3 directly so that the bumper is not scratched.
