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 upper part of the front bumper (radiator grille).
- we lie down under the car and unscrew the nine screws that secure the lower part.
- turning the wheels.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew four screws on each side and bend the slats.
- behind the fenders, we unscrew one screw on each side (TORX), which fix the corners to the brackets in the wings.
- we release the latches in the wings (we take the corner and gently pull it towards us).
- (it will take two people) remove the front bumper forward.
- disconnect the electrical connectors from the fog lights and parking assistant (if available).
How to remove the rear bumper
- lift up the trunk lid.
- in the side panels of the trunk, open the covers.
- under the covers, unscrew the fixing elements (plastic screws with springs), release the connectors and remove the taillights.
- in the openings of the rear lights, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the upper part of the rear bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew four screws (twisted from the bottom up, two screws are hidden in the cavities) that fasten the lower part.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew three screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear part).
- bend the slats to the side and unscrew one screw on each side (TORX T25, twisted from top to bottom), which fix the corners to the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- we release the latches under the taillights (you need to pry with a flat object).
- release the latches in the trunk opening (pull on yourself).
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper back (we look so as not to break the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of the license plate light and (if any) parking assistant sensors.
