A vehicle exterior component includes a decorative main body and a heater sheet that includes a heating wire and a sheet base made of a plastic. The heating wire is routed on the back surface of the sheet base. The heater sheet includes a heating main body that is arranged to be closer to a front side than the decorative main body, and an extending portion that is bent along the outer circumference of the decorative main body to be arranged at a position closer to a back side than a front surface of the decorative main body. The extending portion includes a bent portion along the outer circumference. The wire length of the heating wire in the bent portion is set to a length that allows the heating wire to change shape to adapt to expansions and contractions of the sheet base in the bent portion.
