Is your front bumper damaged? Here’s how to remove it. Lift the bonnet and secure it, raise the car on a jack; use a lever to remove the securing rivets located at the top of the bumper. Once the rivets (pins) at the top are removed, take off the grille and unscrew the screws in the splash guards (remove the pins located at the bottom of the bumper).

Remove the front headlights, pull the bumper away from the bodywork; perform the necessary maintenance and refit the new bumper with the headlights and central grille.
