How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- we pull out two pistons and remove the plastic lining above the radiator grille (held on the latches, pull up).
- under the trim, we unscrew the three screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew eight screws (twisted from the bottom up), which fasten the lower part.
- we turn the wheels in the opposite direction from the one that we will disassemble.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the left and right fender (front part).
- we move the slats to the side, unscrew four screws (two are twisted from the bottom up) on each side.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- with an assistant, we remove the bumper in front (we look for wires and hoses).
- disconnect the common connector of electrical equipment.
- disconnect the headlight washer hoses (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- in the trunk, we raise the floor.
- in the rear panel of the trunk, pull out two plugs and unscrew four nuts under them, through special holes (you will need a cap head with an extension cord, do not drop the nuts into the hidden cavity).
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the seven 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 that attach the fenders (in order not to remove the wheels, use a ratchet with a TORX nozzle).
- move the slats to the side and unscrew the screws that secure the sides.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- with the assistant, we carefully remove the bumper back (we look so as not to break the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
