1. You will need a socket wrench.
OEM PART NUMBER:
Front Bumper: 5K0807217CDGRU
PROCESS:
We start by lifting this Volkswagen GTI up a bit. It's pretty low. We jacked up the car and put it on jack stands. We did this off-camera, but please make sure you're doing this correctly for your safety and ease of removing the bumper. It's not completely necessary to put it on stands, but we found it to be easier for the purposes of creating this video to show you how to remove the VW GTI front bumper.
We started by removing the bolts from the side of the front bumper and fender. There are 3 on each side that need to be removed. We then removed the radiator shroud to reveal the screws that attach the top grille to the frame. Next, we removed this screw to take the GTI front bumper off.
Later in the video, we show you how to remove the upper grille, but it's basically secured by prongs that snap into the front bumper. It's relatively easy to pull off. We got a little hasty and started removing the bumper from its mounts at each end. We weren't aware that there are other screws under the upper grille that attach the bumper to the frame. These are the last screws to remove and you can detach the bumper from the frame. To remove the bumper you will need to pull it away from the fender or bumper mounts. Pull off each end, but not completely. Once each end is off you can pull the bumper off the center. It also attaches to the headlights underneath. Do not pull the entire front bumper off immediately, the fog lights are clipped into the wiring harness and must be disconnected. Now that you have the bumper off, and be able to perform any desired fixes.

Do you happen to know the type of screw. Think I’m missing all screw/bolts for bumper

[@ReveMoto]

Some are 10mm and 7mm all you can get original at the dealership or cheaper at hardware store like “ACE”. If you need any painted to match parts go to www.ReveMoto.com

First you said it was a front bumper removal tutorial then it ends before the bumper comes off then suddenly ends the video saying it was headlight removal tutorial 🤔

[@ReveMoto]

Oof 😱. It looks as though someone added the wrong footage at the end. Thank you for pointing this out and we'll remake this very soon.
