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.
- we release the eight latches in the lower part and remove the radiator grille (you need to pull the bottom of the grille towards yourself. If the latches do not come out, you can make a hook out of the wire and lift all the latches in turn from the inside, while pulling the grid by the bottom towards you).
- under the grille, we unscrew the four screws (twisted from top to bottom) that secure the upper part of the front bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew nine screws (twisted from the bottom up), which fasten the lower part (wheel arch extensions).
- turn the wheels to the side.
- we release the expanders of the wheel arches of their bumpers (they are held on the latches, we pull them up from the bottom).
- we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders and one each, which fasten the corners to the guide profiles in the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- with an assistant, we remove the front bumper forward (we look so as not to break the wires and hoses).
- disconnect the connectors of electronic components.
- disconnect the headlight washer hoses (please note that liquid will flow out of the tank).

- release the rear lights from the latches and remove them.
- under the taillights, unscrew the four screws (twisted from top to bottom) and pull out two pistons (note that the center pin is pressed into the inside of the piston and falls behind the bumper. To install it, you need to find it), which attach the upper part of the rear bumper.
- on the bottom side, we unscrew six screws (twisted from the bottom up) that attach the lower part and two screws that attach the wheel arch extensions.
- we release the rear part of the wheel arch extensions from the latches (pull them up from the bottom. Pay attention to the attachment to the wing, there will be pistons that are easy to break. Bend the fender cover and squeeze the pistons with your fingers).
