Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points may vary slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, we unscrew the four screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the radiator grille.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the twelve screws that secure the lower part of the front bumper.
- depending on the side of the disassembly, we turn it out.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders.
- behind the fenders, we unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (indicated by blue arrows, pull the corners towards you).
- now the most difficult part, we release the latches behind the radiator grille (indicated by blue arrows), which fasten the upper part of the bumper. It is very difficult to get close to these latches, the radiator grille interferes. The radiator grille is attached to the bumper with latches and removed forward, but it is also very difficult to release these latches without removing the bumper.
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper forward (we look so as not to break the wires. Please note that the wires are very short).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- near the taillights, remove the plastic linings, unscrew the four screws under them and remove the taillights (they are held on the retainers in the wings).
- from the bottom side, we pull out four spacer pistons and unscrew two (four) screws (twisted and inserted from the bottom up).
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- behind the fenders, we unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (indicated by blue arrows, pull the corners towards you).
- release the latches under the taillights (indicated by the blue arrows).
- release the latches in the trunk opening (indicated by blue arrows). The latches are very tight, if you pull the bumper back, you can lift them with some curved metal object.
- with an assistant, we remove the rear bumper back (we look behind the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
