Dismantling
1. Dismantle the bottom facing of an impellent compartment.
2. Unscrew one Phillips head screw in the small parts of the grille at the bottom right and bottom left of the bumper. Remove the grid from the clips and remove it.
3. There is one 6mm hex head bolt under the grille pieces. Unscrew.
4. Unscrew at the rear of the bumper in the cutout for the wheel on the right and left one TORX bolt each.
5. Remove the sides of the bumper from the bracket on the fender. To do this, press the bumper down from the side and at the same time pull it away from the body.
6. Wring out the ends of a bumper over bowls of wheel niches and remove forward.
7. Now you can pull the bumper forward.
8. Cars with headlight cleaning system: remove the hoses to the nozzles and provide them with plugs so that the contents of the washer reservoir do not leak out.
9. The spoiler can be removed at the bottom of the bumper after dismantling the spacer tabs on the connector on the right and left.
Installation
1. Connect water hoses.
2. First, lift the bumper onto the brackets.
3. Now insert the sides of the bumper so that its ends do not touch the wheel arch bowl.
4. First, hang the bumper on the lower edge of the brackets on the wing. Then press the bumper from the sides; the top edge will go into the grooves as a result.
5. Tighten the bolts.
Bumper alignment
1. After installing the bumper, check whether the gap between the headlights and the bumper is the same everywhere.
2. But the gap between the lower edge of the hood and the bumper is crucial (about 7 mm).
3. If the gap is not correct, remove the bumper again and slightly turn up or down the threaded bushing in the bumper bracket.
