How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- we release the radiator grille from the latches (pull it towards ourselves and up) (if you want to remove the grille, you need to release the hood lock lever from the latches. If you don't need to remove the grill, just lift it up.)
- under the radiator grille, we unscrew the five screws that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- turn the wheels to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew four screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (front part) and sides.
- in the front part, we remove the decorative pads (they are held on latches).
- under the pads, unscrew one screw on each side (if there is one, remove the temperature sensor).
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper forward from the rails in the wings (we take the sides and pull forward).
- disconnect the electrical equipment connectors (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- from the trunk, unscrew three nuts on each side and remove the taillights.
- under the taillights, we unscrew the two screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the upper part of the rear bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the three screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the lower part.
- (if any) remove the mudguards.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- with the assistant, we carefully remove the bumper back from the rails in the wings (we take the sides and pull them back).
- we release the connectors of electrical equipment (if any).
