Fitting the Lower Bumper Trim

Model: Volkswagen Golf Golf IV, MK 4, Golf 4 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Front bumper

The front bumper has a lower trim applied through snap-fit plastic tabs: to secure it, simply align the tabs of the trim with the respective slots under the bumper and press until they click into place (if necessary, a rubber mallet can also be used). This lower trim is the most susceptible to damage: it can easily get scratched when hitting kerbs, edges of pavements, or parking bollards; this solution allows it to be restored or replaced without having to intervene on the entire bumper.

How to Replace the External Wing Mirror on a Ford C MAX

In the event of a breakage, it will be necessary to replace the external wing mirror on the 2011 Ford C MAX. This operation is easily performed independently.
