To remove the front bumper, start by opening the bonnet and detaching the front grille, located just in front of the radiator fans. Then, unscrew the lower pins, those along the lower edge, and the lateral ones beneath the front of the wings.

Once all the securing pins have been removed, detach the bumper from the side supports and take it out of its location. This is a very straightforward removal; in fact, even if a minor touch-up is necessary, it is advisable to remove the bumper rather than work directly on the entire vehicle.
