The license ornament 2 is entirely plated and has a substantially rectangular shape in which a flat inner peripheral portion 21 is surrounded by a thick frame portion 22.
Backup lamps 3 are fitted into the centers of the vertical frame portions, respectively. A tail lamp 41 and a stop lamp 42 are fitted to left and right positions of the garnish 1 in a separated state. The combination lamp 7 is attached to the left and right body panels P at the door opening edge so as to be continuous with the stop lamp 42 of the garnish 1. In FIG. 2, a tail lamp 41 and a stop lamp 42 are integrally formed as a back door lamp 4 to form a double lamp to reduce the cost. The back door lamp 4 is positioned by inserting stud pins 43 provided at two locations on the upper edge of the rear surface into the through holes 51 of the door panel, and inserting bolts 44 erected on the brackets into the mounting holes 52 of the door panel and nuts 53. Is fixedly connected. The garnish 1 is formed with a substantially square notch 11 which is opened downward at the center, and the license ornament 2 is located in the notch 11. That is, a plurality of claws 14 are formed at the upper edge and the lower ends of the left and right edges of the notch 11 of the garnish 1, and these claws 14 are formed in the perforated holes 2 formed on the outer periphery of the license ornament 2.

The combination lamp 7 is mounted on a mounting seat 62 provided on the body panel P at the edge of the door opening by a screw 71 (FIG. 2). According to such an exterior structure, since the license ornament 2 and the garnish 1 are pre-positioned and made into a sub-assembly and then attached to the back door D, both are separately attached to the back door as compared with the conventional structure in which each is independently attached to the back door. Thus, there is no mounting error between the two, and there is no problem that the garnish 1 on the outer edge of the license ornament 2 makes it difficult to see off. In addition, since the plated portion bordering a fixed width around the license plate is integrated with the license ornament 2 as the outer peripheral frame portion 22 of the license ornament 2, only the relatively small license ornament 2 needs to be plated. The manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with a conventional structure that requires plating as a whole. When the maintenance of the back door lamp 4 is performed after the registration of the license plate, the backup lamp 3 is removed, the screw 16 connecting the license ornament 2 and the garnish 1 is removed, and the license ornament 2 is left on the door side. It can be easily performed by removing the entire garnish 1 to the rear of the vehicle. As described above, according to the exterior structure of the back door of the present invention, it is possible to ensure the easy maintenance of the back door lamp of the dual lamp and to obtain a good closing of the outer peripheral edge of the license ornament. It can be realized at low cost.
