Part: Front bumper

How do you remove the front bumper on a Volkswagen Polo? This operation is not too complex if done methodically. First: open the bonnet by pulling the bonnet release lever and secure it with the prop rod. Unscrew the screws located at the bottom of the bumper, then remove the screws on the sides of the wheel arch liners. Once the bumper is free from any screws or pins, grasp it with your hands and pull it away from the bodywork (disconnect any power cables). Finally, fit the new bumper by following the disassembly steps.
