The invention relates to a bumper arrangement 12 for a motor vehicle comprising a cover member 14 mounted to a bumper cross beam 16 by means of an attachment device 18, the bumper arrangement 12 having a variable stiffness depending on a direction of impact of an object (10, Fig. 5) on the bumper arrangement 12, wherein the attachment device 18, by means of which the cover member 14 is mounted to the bumper cross beam 16, comprises at least one protrusion element 24 that allows the cover member 14 to travel a greater distance in relation to the bumper cross beam 16 if the bumper arrangement 12 is impacted by an object (10, Fig. 5) in a direction of a longitudinal vehicle axis A than if it is impacted with an equal force by an object (10, Fig. 5) in a direction angled to the longitudinal vehicle axis A. The arrangement provides greater resistance to low speed impacts from vehicles in an oblique direction, compared to pedestrians in a longitudinal direction.
