Depending on the year of manufacture and body type, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, we unscrew the two screws that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew six screws (twisted from the bottom up), which fasten the lower part.
- turn the wheels to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (front part).
- we unscrew one screw on each side (there may be pistons), which fasten the corners to the wings.
- in the inner part of the wings, we release the metal retainers (indicated in the diagram by a blue arrow, you need to pry and pull on yourself by 2 cm).
- release two latches near the hood lock (indicated in the diagram by blue arrows).
- with an assistant, we remove the bumper forward (we look for wires and hoses).

- disconnect the headlight washer hoses (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
