How to remove the front bumper
- open the hood.
- remove the headlights (they are removed very easily: you need to pull up the fixing bar, then pull the headlight forward, do not forget to disconnect the connector).
- we unscrew two screws and pull up five pistons that attach the upper part.
- to make it more convenient, we turn out the wheels.
- we unscrew five screws on each side that attach the fenders to the bumper.
- if there are headlight washers, you need to remove the covers (they are simply held on the latches).
- release the latches in the wings (pull the corners towards you).
- we release the latches under the headlights (you need to lift the latch with a flat screwdriver, then pull out the latch).
- with an assistant, we remove the bumper forward along with the lower protective plate.
- disconnect the connectors from the fog lights, temperature sensor (if any).
How to remove the rear bumper
- open the trunk lid.
- under the trunk lid, unscrew two screws.
- unscrew two screws from the bottom side.
- in the wheel arches, we unscrew five screws on each side, which attach the fenders to the bumper.
- we take the corner and pull it with a jerk, the latches in the wings will come out.
- now we also pull back, the latches under the taillights will come out.
- with the assistant, we remove the bumper back (pay attention to the wires).
- disconnect the parking assistant connectors (if any).
