How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- remove the plastic cover over the radiator grille.
- under the cover plate, unscrew the three screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the eleven screws that secure the lower part.
- we turn the wheels to the side (it will be more convenient if the wheels are removed).
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew five screws on each side, which fasten the front part of the fenders.
- through the wheel arches with a head (10 mm) with a long collar, we unscrew two nuts on each side, which attach the sides to the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- with an assistant, we pull the bumper in front (we look at the wires). Pay attention to the mounting pins, so as not to scratch the paint on the wings.
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- release the lower part of the rubber seal.
- remove the side panels of the trunk.
- behind the facings, below the taillights, we unscrew one nut on each side.
- in the inner part of the wings, we unscrew three nuts on each side.
- on the bottom side, unscrew the screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the lower part of the rear bumper.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- with an assistant, we carefully pull the bumper back (we look so as not to scratch the paint on the wings with hairpins and not break the wires).
- disconnect the parking sensor connectors (if any).
