How to Remove the Front Shield of a Smart 450

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Front bumper

The Smart does not have a bumper but a front skirt, as it covers the entire front end. Let's see how to remove it. You need to remove the bolts that connect the bodywork at the front, taking them out between the door and the frame. Also, remove the small side deflector. Take out the indicator lens. Repeat on the other side. Extract the front grille; underneath, there are screws that we will remove. The front of the vehicle is now detached from the base of the vehicle. The video continues with cleaning the back of the entire shield and then repositioning it on the vehicle by following the reverse procedure.
