Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, we pull out eight pistons and remove the lining above the radiator grille.
- under the trim, we unscrew the four screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the upper part of the front bumper (radiator grille).
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the screws (twisted from the bottom up) that attach the plastic protection (you can remove it with or without protection).
- turn the wheels to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew four screws on each side, which attach the fenders to the 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).
- with an assistant, we pull off the bumper in front (we look for wires and a hose).
- disconnect the connectors of the electrical equipment and the nozzle hose of the camera (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- we remove the rear and release the sides of the side linings of the trunk.
- from the trunk, below the taillights, in the inner part of the wings and in the rear panel, unscrew ten nuts (you will need a 10 mm cap head, do not drop the nuts into the hidden cavity).
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the eight screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the lower part of the rear bumper.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew four screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- 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).
