Start by opening the front bonnet and removing the eight pressure clips securing the plastic cover of the grille (pull out the central pin and then the clip); once the cover is removed, unscrew the fixing screws from the top edge of the bumper, first removing the central screw and placing the corresponding rubber, then unscrew the pins immediately next to it. Move on to unscrewing the screws along the wheel arch and the lower edge where you also need to remove the plastic cover to access the indicator connectors and the temperature sensor.

Finally, unclip the side edges under the wings and pull the bumper forward.
