Depending on the year of manufacture and body type, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open and fix the hood.
- under the hood, unscrew the two screws and pull out the two clips that secure the upper part of the front bumper (radiator grille).
- on the ground side, we unscrew ten (twelve) bolts that are twisted from the bottom up (please note that the bolts are of different sizes).
- we turn out the front part of the wheels in turn to the inner side of the arch.
- in the wheel arches, we pull out three (two) clips on each side, which attach the fenders to the bumper.
- we bend the fenders to the side and unscrew two coils (one on each side, twisted from the bottom up), which attach the corners to the wings.
- we release the latches in the wings (you need to take the corner with your hands and pull it with a jerk).
- (we need two people) we remove the front bumper forward (we look so as not to break the wires).
- release the electrical connectors (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid (door).
- pull out the two clips and remove the back panel trim.
- we release the edges of the side panels.
- behind the side panels, unscrew three (two) nuts on each side and remove the taillights.
- under the taillights, unscrew the two screws and pull out the two clips.
- from the bottom side, we pull out six clips (inserted from the bottom up), which fasten the lower part.
- in the wheel arches, unscrew the screws and remove the mudguards (if installed).
- 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.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- we release the fixing clips in the trunk opening (indicated in the diagram by blue arrows, you need to pull on yourself. Please note, when installing the bumper back, first you need to snap these clips).
- with the assistant, we carefully remove the bumper back (we look behind the wires).
- disconnect the electrical equipment connectors (if installed).
