How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- we release the upper part of the radiator grille from the latches and remove it up (the hood lock lever holds the radiator grille, it is not necessary to remove it, just lift the grille up).
- under the radiator grille, we unscrew the five screws that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- remove the decorative pads in the sides of the front bumper (held on the latches).
- we unscrew two screws under the pads
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew four screws on each side that attach the fenders (this is more convenient if you turn the wheels to the side).
- with an assistant, we remove the front bumper forward from the guide profiles in the wings (we look so as not to break the electrical wires and hoses).
- disconnect the electrical equipment connectors (if any).
- (if any) disconnect the headlight washer hoses.
How to remove the rear bumper
- behind the side panels of the trunk, unscrew three nuts on each side, release the connectors and remove the taillights.
- in the openings of the rear lights, we unscrew one screw on each side, which fix the upper part of the rear bumper.
- unscrew the three screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the lower part.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (the rear part is more convenient to unscrew with a ratchet).
- with an assistant, we remove the rear bumper back from the guide profiles in the wings (we look so as not to break the wires).
- disconnect the electrical equipment connectors (if any).
