To optimize visible surface area, the wall has the layer structure in which a first outer layer is formed by a resin film, a second layer is formed by a nonwoven adjacent to the first layer, and a third layer is adjacent to the second layer and has at least one unidirectional layer.

Claims (17)

1 . Wall for a motor vehicle body passenger vehicle, comprising a laminate of plastic layers including,

a resin film first outer layer,

a nonwoven second layer adjacent to the outer layer, and

a third layer having at least one unidirectional layer adjacent to the second layer.

2 . Wall as claimed in claim 1 , further including a fourth layer of unidirectional woven fabric adjacent to the third layer.

3 . Wall as claimed in claim 2 , further including a fifth layer, with a sixth and seventh layers of woven fabric applied to the fourth layer.
