How to Replace the Front Bumper of the Audi A3

Model: Audi A3 MK 1, 8L - Years 1996-2003
Part: Front bumper

Open the bonnet to remove the four screws securing the top of the bumper. Next, place your vehicle on axle stands to work more comfortably on removing the lower engine cover, which is attached with screws to the bottom of the bumper. Now, remove the screws located inside the wing to access the screws behind the wing. Repeat this operation on both sides of your vehicle. You can now pull the bumper outward, disconnecting all the connectors at the back.
