Release and lift the bonnet. This allows you to remove the screws securing the top part of the bumper, which is the grille. Now remove the oval cover located under the wing.

Of course, repeat these operations on the other side of your vehicle. Next, unscrew the screws on the bottom of your vehicle. Now, simply pull the bumper towards you to extract it.
