How to remove front and rear bumper VW Bora

-unscrew the wheels to the left or right, depending on which side you will disassemble.
-in the wheel arches, unscrew the screws that secure the fender liners to the bumper.
-unscrew the screws that secure the bumper to the fenders (screwed from the bottom up).

-at the edges (fog light locations) remove the decorative grilles (held on by latches) and unscrew the screws underneath them.
-pull the bumper forward in the direction of travel from the guides (you need to do this with an assistant so as not to scratch the paint on the fenders).

-remove the connector from the parking sensors (if any).
-if there are headlight washers, disconnect the hoses from the nozzles and close them with plugs so that liquid does not leak out of the tank.
