Depending on the year of manufacture, the mounting points differ slightly.
How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- under the hood, we unscrew three screws (2016-2023 five screws) that secure the upper part of the front bumper (radiator grille).
- from the bottom side, we pull out six pistons that attach the lower part.
- turn the wheels to the side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (in front).
- we move the fenders to the side and unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- release the latches in the upper part (between the headlights).
- we remove the front bumper forward (we look so as not to break the wires).
- disconnect the connectors of electrical equipment.
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- in the side linings of the trunk, open the hatches.
- on the hatches we unscrew the plastic nuts and remove the taillights.
- in the trunk opening, unscrew the four screws that secure the top of the rear bumper.
- from the bottom side, we pull out four spacer pistons that attach the lower part (inserted from the bottom up).
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew two screws on each side, which fasten the fenders (rear).
- we move the fenders to the side and unscrew one screw on each side (twisted from bottom to top), which fix the corners to the wings.
