How to remove front and rear bumper VW Polo (after 2009)

-turn the wheels to the side depending on which side you will disassemble first.
-in the wheel arches, unscrew the screws that secure the fender liners.
-move the fender liners to the side and unscrew one screw on each side (screwed from the bottom up), which secure the bumper to the fenders.
-under the hood, unscrew the headlight mounting screws and move the headlights forward from the lower mounts.
-unscrew the two screws on the edges of the radiator grille (screwed from top to bottom).

-unscrew the screws around the perimeter at the bottom of the bumper (screwed from the bottom up).
-release the bumper from the latches, two under the headlights and four on the radiator grille.
-with an assistant, pull the edges of the bumper to the sides, tearing it off the latches, and pull it forward.

-unscrew the screws and pull out the pins along the perimeter at the bottom (screwed from the bottom up).

-release the clips in the fenders (pull the edges to the sides).
