First of all, make sure that the key is not inserted, then open the hood, remove the indicated plastic rivets and unscrew the bolts of the upper cover with a 10mm socket wrench. Next, unscrew the bolts inside the wheel arches, remove the lower side covers and, grabbing it from one of the two ends, separate the bumper from the frame.
