Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- disconnect the lever from the hood lock (if the radiator grille does not need to be removed, then the lever can not be disconnected).
- use a flat screwdriver to release the upper part of the radiator grille from the retainers and lift it up.
- under the radiator grille, we unscrew the five screws that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- in the front part, we remove two decorative pads (held on the retainers).
- we unscrew two screws under the pads.
- turn the wheels to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew four screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (front part).
- if there are headlight washers, you need to pull out the injectors and remove the top covers from them.
- with an assistant, we remove the front bumper forward, release it from the brackets in the wings (we look for wires).
- disconnect the electrical equipment connectors (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- behind the side panels of the trunk, unscrew three (four) nuts on each side and remove the taillights.
- under the taillights, unscrew the two screws and pull out the two pistons that secure the upper part of the rear bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew two screws (twisted from the bottom up), which fasten the lower part.
- if there is, remove the mudguards.
- we unscrew three screws on each side, which attach the sides to the fenders.
- with an assistant, we remove the rear bumper back from the guide profiles in the wings (we look for wires).
