Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- we remove the hood lock lever (you need to push the latch on the lever and remove it up).
- unscrew the five screws (twisted from top to bottom) and remove the plastic cover (held on the latches).
- under the cover plate, unscrew the three screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the seven screws that secure the lower part (the screws far from the edge if you want to remove the bumper together with the protection, the screws near from the edge if without protection).
- turn the wheels to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we screw in four screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (the front part, there may be two more pistons).
- we take the fenders to the side and unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you). You can unscrew two nuts on each side (marked with blue arrows) and remove them together with the fasteners.
- with an assistant, we pull off the bumper in front (we look so as not to break the wires and hoses).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
- disconnect the chamber washer hoses (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- remove the plastic linings near the taillights (you need to pry and pull on yourself).
- under the pads, unscrew the four screws and remove the rear lights (held on the retainers).
- under the taillights, we unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from top to bottom).
- at the junction with the wing, we pull out two long plastic retainers (you need to pick them up and pull them up), which attach the upper part of the rear bumper to the wings.
- we unscrew four (or eight, depending on the body type, twisted from the bottom up) screws that secure the lower part.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew four screws on each side, which fasten the fenders and sides.
- we unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- release the latches under the taillights.
- release the latches in the trunk opening.
- with an assistant, we gently pull the bumper back (we look at the wires).
