As shown in this tutorial, removing the front bumper on the Mercedes M-Class is an extremely simple and quick task. First, remove the small front grille, then undo the two bolts indicated using a 10mm socket spanner.

Next, fully steer the left wheel to the right, undo the two inner bolts of the wheel arch, and repeat the process on the opposite wheel. At this point, simply undo the last two bolts located at the lower front edge and detach the bumper from the frame.

To fit the replacement, follow the reverse procedure.
