Today we will explain how to remove the front bumper of the Volkswagen Transporter T5 model. We start by removing the bumper by removing the wheel and the bottom part using a flat-head screwdriver to remove the clip and then a torque wrench to remove the nuts.

After removing the bottom part, we remove the wheel arch using a flat-head screwdriver. Next, we remove the clips on the top of the bumper and then unscrew the screws.
