How to Remove the Front Bumper on Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 2, 8P - Years 2003-2013
Part: Front bumper

Remove the front bumper from your Audi A3. Lift the bonnet and secure it; use a socket wrench to remove the securing screws at the top of the bumper. Once the rivets at the top are removed, take off the side impact absorbers and unscrew the screws located in the wheel arch liners (remove the pins at the bottom of the bumper). Pull the bumper away from the bodywork with your hands. To reassemble, position the bumper on the bodywork and tighten all screws around the wheel arch liners and the perimeter.
