Tools you need: • Torx T-20 • Socket wrench size M10 • Small screwdriver • Chalk or pencil (if you want to put some marks on the bodykit to fix it exactly as it was) • A bucket to store the washer fluid (remember: it might be upto 6.5 liters!) • Old soft blankets, wood blocks or a friend to lend a helping hand to avoid scratches to the bumper paint
Removing the bumper • Open the bonnet and you will see first it is necessary to remove the front plastic grill. Remove the front grill by removing the black plastic clips inside the engine bay. Show below left. Do this by turning them ¼ turn left and then lift up by the centre. • Now remove the screws marked in red and green from under your car; that’s quite easy (the red ones are screws like the ones in the lower right corner in the picture above, the green ones like the screws in the top right corner). The picture shows the bumper removed lying “top down”. • To remove the screws marked in blue you have to bend the wheel arch lining / mudguard a little bit, it is made of very robust material, so don’t worry ! • The bumper is now ready to be removed from the car, get your old carpet, blanket, friend etc! The bumper is just fixed with two connectors as shown in this picture, they are located just a little bit under the headlights. If you pull the bumper in driving direction they will release.
