How to remove the front bumper
To remove the bumper, the radiator grille does not need to be removed.
- remove the license plate along with the frame.
- under the frame, unscrew the two screws (TORX T-40) that secure the front part.
- we unscrew the three screws from the bottom side (twisted from the bottom up).
- we unscrew two screws in the wheel arches that secure the sides (to make it more convenient, turn the wheels to the side).
- with an assistant, we remove the front bumper forward (evenly on each side) from the trim brackets in the wings.
- if there are fog lights, disconnect the connectors.
How to remove the rear bumper
Removed together with the amplifier.
- lift up the trunk lid.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the sides (in order not to remove the wheels, use a ratchet with a nozzle).
- now you need to unscrew the four nuts (two on each side) that attach the amplifier brackets to the body. Pay attention to these nuts, they are very susceptible to corrosion and the studs break.
- with an assistant, we evenly remove the bumper back from the trim brackets in the wings.
