Hey guys, Rolando from ReveMoto. So today I'm going to be working on the 2012 Volkswagen GTI
front bumper removal. If you guys like this video, go ahead and like, subscribe, and turn
on that push notification. And if you guys need any prepainted auto body parts for your car,
go to ReveMoto.com, your pre-painted auto body parts source. And, also, this is a place you can
also buy this bumper painted to color match your vehicle and ship to your door, ReveMoto.com, your
pre-painted auto body parts store. Let's go ahead and get started. All right guys, so what we did
here is we jacked up the car because it's a little bit lower than I can get into. So just go ahead
and jack it up. Make sure you guys jack it up with those, uh, stands also so it doesn't fall down.
That's where it is. All right so we're gonna start off at the bottom right here,
and what we're gonna do is we're gonna take off these bolts that go, that runs right underneath
the bumper. So these bolts right here, let me see, these bolts right here that runs across
the whole underside of the bumper and you see the tabs. So those tabs right there is gonna
have all those bolts and they are, I believe, let me take a look at here, T20. And the tool
you're going to be using is like, something like this. Let me see if I can focus on it.
See that, it's like a star looking bit. So that's a T20 or torx bit. So, let's go ahead
and get started. All right so I'm gonna go ahead and start off right here on this side. Okay that's
going to be a T20 torx bit. Same exact, uh, bit that you're using underneath the vehicle
so I think there's going to be four of them
one up here
All right, so that's gonna be four of them along
the side right here and then on top is going to be another bolt.
Let me see what this is.
Yep, same thing, a T20 torx bit up here.
All right
so they all look the same. That's the same one on top
right there, and there's four on the side of the bumper. So go ahead and do that on the other side
also. All right, so now, we're on top of the bumper. What we did is lift up the hood first,
and then when you lift up the hood, there's this grille right here you're gonna go ahead and take
off these bolts right here. Again, that's going to be T20 bolts, so it's going to be the same tool
you're going to be utilizing over and over again on this car so it makes it really easy to take off
this vehicle. Take apart this, uh, front bumper not this vehicle, so again it's gonna be one,
two,
three, and last but not least this one right here.
So again, there you go guys, a little star looking. It's a star fruit, maybe, looking little,
uh, bolt right there. Okay so let me just see if if I'm supposed to disconnect this. Yeah,
so let's see if I can just pull this. Let me see if it's okay. I'm just trying to figure out if I
have to take off anything else or if this grille goes with the bumper, which it looks like it does.
So let's go ahead and take that off. Well not, not the grill. We're going to take off the bumper now.
All right, so we're gonna go ahead and come to the side of the bumper
and all you're doing is pulling like that.
There you go. So leave that one right there and go to the other side and do the
same exact thing. All right so you guys can see those fog lights on each side,
so it's gonna drop down, and you don't want to break the harness on these, uh,
on these bumpers or in this vehicle. So watch how I do it, I'm just gonna put my hand in the
middle and kind of support the bumper while I easily pull it, uh, I softly pull it down.
Take a look at this. It's getting kind of caught so let me just see
if there's something else that we need to take off. I think it should be fine.
Let me look a little bit closer because it's kind of hard to take off and I don't want to
yank it and break the bumper and again this car is really easy. It's just T20,
uh, torx bit all around. I'm gonna take that off right there,
and then one right there, and now, we should be able to take off this bumper. So again,
support it right here, and take off the bumper like that. See how easy that comes off. That's how
a bumper should really come off, so just go ahead and take it off, like that. Support it, and then
come back here. I'm gonna go on the other side, and you're going to take off those fog light wires
but you guys can see it's right there. All right, so it should just be a clip. Let's see here.
Yeah, it should be a clip back here and just press down on this thing right here, and pull down
on this one right here. I think it's a twisting motion, okay.
Oh it's a pulling motion. So basically, it just plugs in and then pull out.
Okay so do that on the other side also. All right, so go ahead and lift up that
hood right there. I'm gonna take that off for the T20. Just go in there. Oh
so right there just turn it. This, I forgot what this is,
oil cooler system. Oh it's an upgrade so you guys won't have that on your
car. Go and take that off right there, unless you do have that on your car.
So go ahead and take that off.
Ah,
come off
here we go
All right, so again, it's going to be torx bit right there. All right guys,
so that's how I take off a headlight off a 2012 Volkswagen GTI. Thank you guys for watching!
