How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- remove the decorative grilles near the fog lights (you need to press the latch and release it from the latches).
- through the openings under the grilles, we unscrew two long bolts (twisted from the bottom up) that attach the amplifier to the brackets. If these bolts do not loosen, you can unscrew the six bolts (indicated in the diagram by blue arrows) and remove the bumper along with the brackets.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew three quick-release screws (maybe not) that secure the engine compartment protection.
- in the wheel arches, we screw in the screws that secure the fenders (front part).
- now the most difficult part, you need to unscrew six nuts in the inner part of the wings. There are two ways to get to these nuts:
1 unscrew three screws on each side (twisted from top to bottom) and remove the headlights. Then, through the openings of the headlights, we unscrew three nuts on each side.
2 in the wheel arches, bend the slats and unscrew these nuts with a cap head with an extension cord.
- we release the latches in the wings (pull the corners down and towards ourselves).
- with an assistant, we pull off the bumper in front (we look so as not to break the wires and not scratch the paint on the wings with hairpins).
- disconnect the connectors of sound signals and fog lights.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- in the side panels of the trunk, open the covers (you need to access the inside of the wings).
- under the covers, we unscrew five nuts on each side (three in the inner part of the wings and two below the taillights. When installing, please note that the nuts are different in shape).
- (if any) unscrew the two screws from the bottom side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders.
- we release the latches in the wings (pull the corners down and towards ourselves).
- with an assistant (so that the hairpins do not scratch the paint on the wings), we carefully pull the bumper back (we look for the wires).
- disconnect the parking sensor connectors (if any).
