Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, unscrew the two screws and pull out the two clips that secure the radiator grille.
- we release the radiator grille from the upper retainers (you need to pull on yourself. If necessary, the radiator grille can be removed by pulling up).
- (1999-2003) near the headlights, we take out one piston on each side and remove the turn indicators (they are held on latches). Through the openings of the turn indicators, we take out two clips.
- on the lower side, unscrew the ten screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the lower part of the front bumper.
- to make it more convenient, turn the wheels in turn to the left and right sides.
- in the wheel arches, we remove four clips (since 2003, we unscrew five screws) on each side, which fasten the fenders (front part).
- we move the fenders to the side and unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
- we release the latches in the wings (you need to pull the corners towards you with a jerk).
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper forward (pay attention to the wires).
- release the fog lamp connectors (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- lift up the trunk lid.
- unscrew the three screws that secure the upper side of the rear bumper.
- on the bottom side, we take out two clips (inserted from the bottom up).
- in the wheel arches, we take out three clips on each side, which fasten the slats.
- behind the fenders, we unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
- unscrew two screws on each side and remove the taillights (the electrical connectors of the taillights are located behind the side panels of the trunk).
- release the sides from the locking elements in the wings.
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper back (we look behind the wires).
- release the connectors of electrical components (if installed).
