Preparation

Before removing the front bumper on the Lada Granta, you need to prepare the following.

Crosshead screwdriver.
Open-end wrench No. 10 and No. 12.
Ratchet No. 10.
Fasteners with Torx slot T No. 20.
Fasteners with Torx slot T No. 30.
Rags.
Any penetrating lubricant, such as WD-40.
Grease.

If the crankcase protection is of a non-standard type, then you will need some rectangular object on which to place it just right after removal. This could be a small plastic canister, cardboard box, etc.

The dismantling of the front body kit on the Grant, as well as its installation, must be carried out very carefully

A slight misalignment or carelessness can lead to breakage of latches or latches, the repair of which will be quite expensive

DIY rear bumper installation

Replacing the Grant liftback bumper, hanging the upper perimeter, snapping the side and bottom, tightening the bolts. At this stage it is important to maintain the integrity of the plastic clips. In case of damage or deformation, tightness to the surface is not guaranteed.

If you accidentally damage the clip, consult a specialist. Restoring without experience does not always lead to guaranteed success. Self-replacement of the rear bumper on a Lada Granta liftback is completed.

Results

In general, the process of dismantling the Lada Granta bumper is not very complicated. You just need to keep in mind that you are working with a fragile material that can break very easily. To prevent this, never leave the bumper without support, especially when it has already lost some of its fastenings.

In addition, you do not need to pull the bumper too much. If it doesn't snap off, it means something is blocking it. You can find out by once again inspecting all the fastening points.

And, of course, the help of another person will not be superfluous, with whom the chance of breaking the bumper will be much lower.

In what cases is it necessary to replace the bumper?

the consequence of a frontal collision, an accident, when the structure of the plastic is deformed, standard fasteners are destroyed, subsequent use is not rational;
manufacturing defects at the assembly line stage;
negative consequences of operation in critical negative / positive temperatures;
mechanical damage caused by the driver;
combustion, melting;
installation of tuning elements, local upgrade, insertion of non-standard designs.

Regardless of the type of damage, carry out preliminary diagnostics in order to assess the general technical condition of the machine, components, and assemblies. Based on the results, choose the recovery method.

Assess the condition of the machine either independently or by turning to service station specialists for help.

general information

Manipulating the body kit takes no more than 20 minutes, even for a novice auto mechanic. Bolts with soured threads can complicate the situation and prolong the work time. Most often this happens with the four screws that secure the radiator and body kit. The bolts sit as if rooted, and it takes no effort to move them. In such cases, a penetrating lubricant such as WD-40 comes in handy. It must be applied in advance, right under the bolt head. After a short period of time, the lubricant will do its job, and the screw will easily unscrew.

When installing the body kit, it is recommended to lubricate the screw threads with grease or grease, such as “Universal” or “Mobile”. Thanks to this treatment, it is possible to avoid souring and corrosion of fastening joints. This will make it easier to remove the bumper again and extend the life of the screw elements.

A removed body kit is a good reason to inspect devices and parts to which access was denied. Check the condition of the wires, fasteners, inspect the power bumper, etc. If rust is detected on the body, the area is treated with anti-corrosion treatment. This will prevent further damage and hole formation.

The concept and purpose of the front bumper amplifier on the Lada Granta

Many motorists practice strengthening the frontal structure of the car in order to minimize possible risks. One way is to install a metal amplifier. It is fixed on standard fasteners in the middle, covering the radiator and fan. A plastic bumper is placed on top of the metal tire. The location of the tire is secretive, invisible to the eye.

In the event of an accident or collision, the metal protection will take the blow, minimizing damage to the engine compartment. In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of no more than 50 km/h, the protection will maintain the integrity of the plastic. The maximum that can happen is damage to the paintwork.

Purpose of headlights

A car headlight is designed to illuminate the cavity of the front and side parts of the road surface. It provides the necessary visibility and also performs road safety functions.

Lada Granta headlights, in accordance with international automotive legislation, have passed all the necessary tests and received certificates and licenses that make it possible to carry out international traffic in any country in the world.

Reasons why headlight removal may be necessary

The reasons for removing the headlight on a Lada Grant can be many factors, namely:

Damage to the structure of the surface or body due to an accident, as well as exposure to external factors.
Dismantling for repair of adjacent parts.
Disassembling the headlight for repair
Restoring the surface or soldering fasteners.
Replacing the headlight.
Tuning headlights for Lada Granta

All these or other factors contribute to the need to remove the Lada Granta headlight.

Types of headlights for Lada Granta

There is an original headlight and several of its analogues, which can be used as an alternative or tuning optics. Let's look at the catalog numbers and descriptions for all:

The original Lada Granta headlight has a catalog number - 21900-3711010-00. It is easy to remove and install, and does not require special knowledge for this.
The closest analogue with xenon lenses from, which is not widely used, is 21901-3711010-90. This is the same original headlight, which was already initially made by the factory for the installation of xenon. The price is 15% more expensive than the original.
Optical tuning. In order not to redo the headlight mounts, I released two analogue models. The first has integrated LED turn signals and daytime running lights. Catalog number – DM-171052. The second option has different lenses for low and high beam, and the headlight edging itself has LED backlighting in blue, green or white. Listed in the catalog under number DM-171118.

A special mention is worth mentioning such a useful modification as installing a lens in the headlight unit.

Installing a lens into a standard headlight

Thus, it can be seen that there are several options for standard headlights on the Lada Granta, which do not require alteration of the mounts for removal and installation.

Reasons for removing headlights

There are a number of reasons why the owner of a Grant will need to remove the headlights on his car. These include:

The occurrence of disturbances in the surface structure or in the body of a part that occurred as a result of a traffic accident or due to exposure to environmental factors.
In the case when removing the headlights is necessary to repair any adjacent part.
When restoring the headlight surface or when performing soldering work on fasteners.
Directly when replacing them.

All of the above factors are a valid basis for dismantling headlights.

Procedure for work

Placing the vehicle within the perimeter of the repair area;

Open the hood/trunk lid;
Unscrew the mounting bolts one by one. In the case of the rear bumper, first remove the rear lights to provide access to the bolts;
Remove the plastic bumper and carry out maintenance;
Put on a new one and secure it with clips.

DIY installation is complete.

Bottom line The process of replacing the front / rear bumper yourself is not at all difficult. If you have tools, equipment, and spare parts, prevention will take no more than 15 minutes. When it comes to the negative consequences of an accident, impact, collision, the time interval is impossible to predict. Before removing the Grant liftback bumper, be sure to conduct preliminary diagnostics using digital scanners to determine the geometry of the body.

Subtleties that everyone should know about

If the plastic clips are damaged, tightness is not guaranteed. The gap at the joint will increase and waviness will form on the surface.

As soon as this is discovered, be sure that the clip is damaged. It is better to replace it with a new one yourself or contact a service center.
