Technically it is referred to as a fascia extension. And sometime called 'ground effects" by the aftermarket boyz.

Car do not have "bumpers" any more, they have fascia's. , plastic injection molded Talc Filled Polyolofins, probably 2.5mm to 3mm thick. The extensions are normally TPO also. Although Mercedes still uses RIM for the M series front and rear fascia.

I know...TMI.
