How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, we unscrew the three screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- unscrew the wheels to the left or right, depending on which side of the bumper you will unscrew first.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (front part).
- we take the fenders to the side and pull out one of the pistons on each side, which attach the corners to the wings.
- we pull the edges of the bumper from the latches in the wings (we take the corner and pull it down and towards ourselves).
- with an assistant, we pull the bumper forward (pay attention to the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- we unscrew two screws in the trunk opening.
- remove the rear trunk panel trim (held on the latches, pull up).
- behind the skin, through the holes in the rear panel, we unscrew four nuts (you will need a cap head with a collar, please note: the nuts may fall into a hidden cavity).
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- on the bottom side, unscrew the four screws (twisted from the bottom up).
- we release the latches in the wings (we pull down at the corners and at ourselves).
- we pull the bumper back (we look for wires).
- release the parking sensor connectors (if any).
