we will disassemble first.

-remove the connector from the fog lights (if any).
-remove the connector from the parking sensors (if any).
-if there are headlight washers, disconnect the hoses (to prevent the liquid from leaking onto the ground, you should prepare a special container).
Rear bumper
-open the trunk lid, unscrew the four screws in the threshold (screwed from top to bottom) and the screws near the rear lights.

- move the fender liners to the side and unscrew one screw on each side that secure the bumper to the fenders (screwed from the bottom up) (may not be there).
