Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, we unscrew the four bolts that secure the upper part of the front bumper and two bolts on each side that secure the headlights.
- we lift up the retainers and remove the headlights.
- through the openings of the headlights, we unscrew one screw on each side, which fasten the brackets to the wings (I recommend removing the bumper along with the brackets).
- on the bottom side, unscrew the four screws that secure the sides and pull out two plastic holders (you need to turn the holder 90° with a flat screwdriver) that secure the bottom cover.
- release the cover from the latches and unscrew the two bolts under it.
- we turn the wheels in turn to the left and right sides, in the inner part of the arch.
- in the wheel arches, unscrew the screws and pull out the clips that attach the fenders (front part).
- behind the fenders, we unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fasten the brackets to the wings.
- with an assistant, we remove the bumper forward (be careful not to break the wires and hoses).
- we release the connectors from the fog lights.
- disconnect the common hose of the headlight washer system (liquid will flow out).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- we unscrew two screws on each side, release them from the retainers in the wings and remove the taillights.
- under the taillights, we unscrew two screws.
- we release the upper cover plate from the latches and remove it (the latches are located in the part closest to the trunk).
- under the cover plate, pull out five clips (inserted from top to bottom).
- on the bottom side, we unscrew six screws (twisted from the bottom up).
- in the wheel arches, unscrew the screws that secure the fenders (rear half).
- push the slats to the side and unscrew the two screws on each side that secure the sides to the brackets.
- release the latches in the wings (pull on yourself).
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper back (we look so as not to break the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
