How to remove the front bumper

 

-open the hood.

-under the hood, unscrew the two screws and take out the four pistons (twisted and inserted from top to bottom) that secure the upper part of the front bumper.

-from the bottom side, unscrew the four screws that secure the fender liners and take out the four pistons that secure the engine compartment protection (the bumper can be removed without engine compartment protection, then instead of the pistons you need to unscrew six screws).

-turn the wheels left or right depending on which side we will disassemble first.

-in the wheel arches, unscrew three screws on each side that secure the fender liners (front part).

-release the latches in the wings (pull the corners toward you).
