An assembly including a compression-molded, composite panel having first and second outer layers of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material, first and second sheets of thermoplastic adhesive and a core of cellulose-based material is provided. The core has first and second portions positioned between the outer layers. The second outer layer is bonded to the core by the second sheet by press molding. The first outer layer includes a first portion bonded to the first portion of the core by the first sheet by press molding and a second portion bonded to the second portion of the core to form a mounting flange pivotally connected to the first portion of the first outer layer. A component is mounted to the flange to pivot with the flange. A living hinge allows the flange and the mounted component to pivot between different use positions relative to the first portion of the first outer layer.

1. An assembly comprising: a compression-molded, composite panel including first and second outer layers of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic material, first and second sheets of thermoplastic adhesive and a core of cellulose-based material and having first and second portions positioned between the outer layers, the first portion having a plurality of cavities and the second portion being substantially free of cavities, wherein the second outer layer is bonded to the core by the second sheet by press molding and the first outer layer includes a first portion bonded to the first portion of the core by the first sheet by press molding and a second portion bonded to the second portion of the core to form a mounting flange pivotally connected to the first portion of the first outer layer;a component mounted to the mounting flange to pivot with the mounting flange; anda living hinge which allows the mounting flange and the mounted component to pivot between different use positions relative to the first portion of the first outer layer wherein the mounting flange is formed by a crushed portion of the composite panel adjacent the living hinge to form a depression which receives the component. 2. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising at least one fastener for fastening the component to the mounting flange. 3. The assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein each fastener is a threaded fastener and wherein the component includes a threaded part to hold the threaded fastener to the component. 4. The assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein the mounting flange includes at least one hole which extends completely through the mounting flange, wherein each fastener is externally threaded, wherein the threaded part includes an internally threaded hole and wherein each fastener extends through its corresponding hole in the mounting flange and is threadedly secured within its internally threaded hole. 5. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a substantially continuous carpet layer bonded to an upper surface of the first outer layer including the first and second portions of the first outer layer to at least partially form a carpeted composite panel having a carpeted mounting flange. 6. The assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein the living hinge includes a portion of the carpet layer. 7. The assembly as described in claim 1 wherein the first outer layer is made out of polymeric material and wherein the living hinge is at least partially made out of the polymeric material. 8. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a second living hinge which facilitates or allows the mounting flange and the mounted component to pivot between the different use positions. 9. The assembly as claimed in claim 8, further comprising a substantially continuous carpet layer bonded to an outer surface of the first outer layer including the first and second portions of the first outer layer to at least partially form a carpeted composite panel having a carpeted mounting flange. 10. The assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein each of the first and second living hinges includes a portion of the carpet layer. 11. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein a portion of the mounted component has a reduced thickness to form a depression which receives the mounting flange. 12. The assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein a portion of the mounted component has a reduced thickness to form a depression which receives the carpeted mounting flange and wherein thickness of the carpeted mounting flange is substantially equal to depth of the depression. 13. The assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first outer layer including the first and second portions is a fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic layer. 14. The assembly as claimed in claim 13, wherein the carpet layer is a thermoplastic carpet layer and wherein the thermoplastic of the first outer layer including the first and second portions and the carpet layer is polypropylene. 15. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composite panel has a thickness in the range of 5 to 25 mm. 16. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first outer layer has a load bearing surface. 17. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the core is a cellular core. 18. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the core has a honeycomb structure. 19. A vehicle assembly comprising: a compression-molded, composite panel including first and second fiber-reinforced thermoplastic, outer layers, first and second sheets of thermoplastic adhesive and a core of cellulose-based material and having first and second portions positioned between the outer layers, the first portion having a plurality of cavities and the second portion being substantially free of cavities, wherein the second outer layer is bonded to the first portion of the core by the second sheet by press molding and the first outer layer has an outer surface and includes a first portion bonded to the first portion of the core by the first sheet by press molding and a second portion bonded to the second portion of the core to form a mounting flange pivotally connected to the first portion of the first outer layer;a component mounted to the mounting flange to pivot with the mounting flange within an interior of a vehicle; anda living hinge which allows the mounting flange and the mounted component to pivot between different use positions relative to the first portion of the first outer layer wherein the mounting flange is formed by a crushed portion of the composite panel adjacent the living hinge to form a depression which receives the component. 20. A vehicle floor panel assembly comprising: a compression-molded, composite panel including first and second fiber-reinforced thermoplastic, outer layers, first and second sheets of thermoplastic adhesive and a core of cellulose-based material and having first and second portions positioned between the outer layers, the first portion having a plurality of cavities and the second portion being substantially free of cavities, wherein the second outer layer is bonded to the core by the second sheet by press molding and the first outer layer has a load-bearing surface and includes a first portion bonded to the first portion of the core by the first sheet by press molding and a second portion bonded to the second portion of the core to form a mounting flange pivotally connected to the first portion of the first outer layer;a component mounted to the mounting flange to pivot with the mounting flange in an interior of a vehicle; anda living hinge which allows the mounting flange and the mounted component to pivot between different use positions relative to the first portion of the first outer layer wherein the mounting flange is formed by a crushed portion of the composite panel adjacent the living hinge to form a depression which receives the component.
