How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, we unscrew the eight screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the radiator grille (the grille can not be removed).
- on the bottom side, we unscrew the nine screws (twisted from bottom to top) that secure the lower part of the front bumper.
- turn the wheels inside out (depending on the disassembly side).
- in the wheel arches, unscrew two screws on each side and release the fenders (front part).
- in the inner part of the wings, we unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top) and two nuts (you will need a cap head (10mm) with an extension cord.
