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, unscrew the two screws (twisted from top to bottom), release the latches and remove the radiator grille (pull up).
- under the radiator grille, we unscrew the four 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.
- depending on the side, we turn out the wheels.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three (four) screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (the front part is completely unnecessary to remove, just bend it to the side).
- we unscrew one screw on each side, which fix the corners to the wings.
- in the inner part of the wings, we release the locking strips (you need to pull the locking element about a centimeter towards yourself).
- use a flat screwdriver to release the latches in the middle bumper grille (you don't need to remove the grille, just push on the retainers and pull the bumper towards you).
- with an assistant, we remove the front bumper forward (we look so as not to break the wires and hoses).
- disconnect the electrical equipment connectors (if any).
- (if any) disconnect the headlight washer hoses (if there is liquid in the tank, it will start to flow out).

The mounting points are almost identical.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- we open hatches in the side panels of the trunk.
- under the hatches, unscrew two nuts on each side, release the connectors and remove the taillights.
- under the taillights, we unscrew two screws (Torx t27) on each side, which secure the upper part of the rear bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the four screws (Torx t20) twisted from the bottom up) that secure the lower part.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws (Torx t20) on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- we move the fenders to the side and unscrew one screw on each side (hard to reach, twisted from top to bottom), which fix the corners to the wings.
- in the wheel arches, we release the locking strips that attach the sides to the wings (you need to pull the locking element about a centimeter towards you).
- with an assistant, we remove the rear bumper back (we look so as not to break the wires).
- we release the connectors of electrical equipment (license plate lighting, parking sensors).
