How to remove the front bumper
It is removed together with a metal amplifier.
- open the hood.
- under the hood, unscrew the screws (twisted from top to bottom) and remove the cover plate.
- in the wheel arches, we pull out two pistons on each side (there may be screws).
- in the front part, we unscrew two screws, release them from the latches and remove the grid.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew two bolts (17 mm) on each side, which attach the amplifier brackets to the spars (note that the nearest bolts to the engine attach the subframe and it is unnecessary to unscrew them).
- with an assistant, we remove the front bumper forward from the guide brackets in the wings.
- disconnect the fog lamp connectors (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
It is removed together with a metal amplifier.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew four bolts (twisted from the bottom up).
- open the trunk lid (door).
- in the trunk, we raise the floor.
- under the floor of the luggage compartment, we unscrew the four bolts that attach the amplifier brackets to the spars.
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper back from the guide profiles in the wings (please note that you need to pull evenly on both sides).
