Depending on the year of manufacture and body type, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew the screws that attach the fenders to the bumper.
- in front of the fog lights, pull out two pistons (there may not be any pistons) and remove the decorative grilles.
- under the grilles, we unscrew two long bolts (twisted from the bottom up) that attach the brackets to the amplifier. If these bolts do not loosen, you can remove the headlights and unscrew the brackets from the body.
- in the inner part of the wings, we unscrew three nuts on each side (you can get to these nuts in two ways: 1) unscrew the four bolts each and remove the headlights, allowing access to the inside of the wing through the headlight openings. 2) in the wheel arches, unscrew the screws and release the slats. You can get to the nuts with a cap head with a long collar).
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the three clamping pins that secure the protection.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- with an assistant, we pull the bumper forward (we look for wires and hoses).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
- disconnect the headlight washer hoses (if any, liquid may leak).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- in the trunk, remove the rear and release the side panels (you need to get access to the inside of the wings).
- in the inner part of the wings and under the taillights, we unscrew six nuts on each side (in the universal body type: four nuts on each side).
- on the bottom side, we unscrew two screws (twisted from the bottom up).
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- release the latches in the fenders (pull the corner of the bumper towards you).
- with an assistant, we gently pull the bumper back (we look at the wires).
- disconnect the parking sensor connectors (if any).
