Withdrawal
1. Open the hood.
2. Remove the engine mudguard (see illustration).
3. Turn out on the back side of a bumper a bolt with a cross-shaped slot which is located on the center of a bumper.
4. Remove, having wrung out clamps, small lattices from the right and left sides of a bumper.
5. Turn out the bolts with a shaped slot for a socket wrench by 6 mm located in the upper part of the openings for the gratings (see illustration).
6. Disconnect the plastic plugs on the left and right sides on the bottom rear of the bumper.
7. Release the bumper sidewalls from the holders on the body. To do this, press the bumper down from the side and at the same time pull it towards you (see illustration).
8. Lift the ends of the bumper over the wheel arch and detach the bumper by pushing it forward. The bumper can now be removed by pulling it forward.
9. Disconnect plugs of antifog lamps if the car is equipped with them.
10. Disconnect the headlight washer hoses and plug their ends with stoppers so that the washer fluid does not flow out of the tank if the car is equipped with a headlight washer. The bumper covers can be removed individually. The license plate mounting frame is secured with two bolts.

Installation
12. Connect the power plugs for the fog lights, as well as the headlight washer hoses, if the car is equipped with them.
13. Install the bumper in place by sliding it onto the holders.
14. Reinstall the bumper sidewalls so that they do not go into the space under the wheel arch. To do this, align the lower edge of the sidewall with the mounting bracket, and then push on the adjacent end of the bumper.
15. Replace the plastic plugs.
16. Tighten the bumper bolts. After installing the bumper, make sure that the gap between the metal bezel of the headlight and the bumper is the same throughout its entire length.
17. Also make sure that the gap between the bumper and the hood cover is also the same along the entire length. Its width should not exceed 6 mm. If not, then remove the bumper and reinstall. If necessary, loosen the bolts of the bumper brackets and move them in the elongated holes (see illustration).
Attention! The plastic bumper of the AUDI 80 returns to its original shape even after a sufficiently violent collision, making it difficult to detect damage on the rear side. For this reason, after hitting an obstacle with the bumper, check the condition of the bumper under the trim, the front lining panel and bumper brackets, headlight holders, radiator grille, lower edge of the hood (see illustration 2.0).
