Let's see how to remove the front bumper on an Opel Astra. Remove the bumper to replace it with a new one. Lift the car on a jack, then unscrew the securing screws located at the top of the bumper to start.

Once the screws at the top are removed, take off the front grille located at the centre of the bumper. Unscrew the screws in the wheel arch liners (remove the pins at the bottom of the bumper).

Remove the bumper by hand from the front of the car (disconnect any electrical terminals of the fog lights). Fit the new bumper and screw in all the securing screws.

Complete the bumper installation with the central grille.
