How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, pull out two pistons and remove the plastic cover above the radiator grille (held on the latches, pull up).
- under the cover plate, near the headlights, we unscrew two screws (twisted from top to bottom) that attach the upper part of the front bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the five screws that secure the lower part.
- turn the wheels to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we screw in four screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (front part).
- 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.
- we release the latches in the wings (we take the corner and pull it with a jerk).
- with an assistant, we pull off the bumper in front (we look for wires and hoses).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
- disconnect the headlight washer hoses.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- in the side panels of the trunk, open the hatches and unscrew the two nuts behind them (you will need a cap head with a long collar).
- with our hands, we pull on ourselves and remove the plastic pads near the taillights.
- under the pads, unscrew the four screws and remove the taillights (held on the retainers in the wings).
- under the taillights, use a flat screwdriver to lift the metal pressure plates about one centimeter.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew three screws (twisted from the bottom up).
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (in order not to remove the wheels, use a nozzle (torx) and a ratchet.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
