Sidewall group for passenger cars

The invention relates to a side-panel element (1) for a passenger car, with a B-column (2) of fiber reinforced plastic, at least one further downstream in the rear direction of the column (3, 4) of fiber reinforced plastic and a portion of the outer skin of the passenger car defining sidewall ( 6) of fiber reinforced plastic. Thus, such a sidewall group having a low weight a high rigidity for receiving operating and crash loads, has a challenging surface quality and can be manufactured at low cost with low production times, the invention provides that the B-column (2) a hollow column (2.1) comprising of metal as a core element.
