-unscrew the four screws under the hood (if there are any, pull out the pins).
-unscrew the two screws at the edges of the central lower decorative grille (until 2006, the screws are located under the side decorative grilles).
-unscrew the screws along the perimeter at the bottom of the bumper (screwed from bottom to top).
-turn the wheels to the left or right side, depending on which side we will disassemble first.
