-the entire length of the lower part of the bumper, Unscrew the screws.
-unscrew the wheels left or right, depending on which side you will unscrew first
-in the wheel wells, Unscrew the bolts that secure the fender liner to the bumper.
-under the hood, along the edges of the radiator, Unscrew one screw on each side.
-(after 2003) we take out the decorative fog lamp grilles (attached with latches) and under them we unscrew one bolt on each side.
-(until 2003) under the fog lights take out the plugs and Unscrew one bolt on each side.
-in the opening of the lower grille, Unscrew the four screws (spun up).
-remove the towing hook mounting plugs and Unscrew one bolt on each side.
-we release the edges of the bumper from the latches and pull it in front (it is better to do this with an assistant).
-remove the connectors from the fog lights.
-if there are headlight washers, disconnect the hose (if there is liquid in the tank, it will flow through the removed hose, you need to prepare a plug).
-if you have parking sensors, remove the common connector.

Rear bumper
-in the wheel arches, unscrew one bolt on each side that secure the fender liner (in order not to remove the wheels, you can use a ratchet with a head) and pull out the fender liner over the edges of the bumper.

-under the overlays, Unscrew one bolt on each side (spun up).
