Front bumper — replacement (Opel Zafira A)

The front bumper consists of a decorative overlay and a reinforcement. As a rule, only the outer decorative overlay breaks from a slight impact, which can be replaced separately. Also, if necessary, the lower part of the decorative overlay (spoiler) can be replaced separately.

Note: The operation is shown using the example of replacing the bumper of the Astra model. On the Zafira model, the operation is performed similarly.
