Front bumper for VAZ 2115 - replacement, repair, how much it costs

The bumper has now become an integral part of the body of any vehicle. It not only completes the appearance, but also performs a completely utilitarian function - it protects the car from minor damage. During a collision, it usually breaks, due to which the inertia of the impact is partially absorbed.

Older car models have metal bumpers. Consequently, this fact led to the fact that the car received much greater damage upon impact. This caused significant damage not only to the vehicle itself, but often to the people sitting in it. Modern bumpers are made of plastic or synthetic resins - they are softer and perform their role perfectly. There is, however, one significant drawback - after a collision, most likely, it will have to be replaced.

When does it become necessary to remove the bumper?

In reality, it is a rare car owner who can boast that he has never had to remove the bumper himself in his life. This is usually required in cases where:

• The power unit is being repaired;
• a new radiator is installed;
• a decorative grille is installed;
• The damaged front (or rear) bumper of a VAZ-2115 is being replaced.

It is worth noting that if this element of the car was damaged, the owner can either buy a new one or try to repair the old one.

We'll tell you more about the repair below.

How to choose the right new bumper

Nowadays, stores sell not only products produced directly by VAZ, but also many replicas manufactured by various companies.
Quite handicrafts are also often found. To avoid purchasing low-quality goods, you need to use the following recommendations:

• the thickness of the plastic should be the same as the old one, or better yet, even greater;
• It is important to guess the shade if it is sold already painted.

Of course, no one forces the car owner to replace a damaged bumper, but it significantly spoils the appearance of the car. Moreover, if another accident occurs, then he will no longer be able to protect anyone or anything.

Removing the bumper

To do this you will need the following tools:

• Phillips screwdriver;
• socket wrench 10/8;
• end at 13.

Usually the procedure takes no more than an hour. To make the replacement more convenient, it is better to install the car in a pit.

To dismantle the bumper you will need to perform the following steps:

• move the protection away from both front wheels, having previously unscrewed the fixing screws;
• use a 10mm wrench to tighten the nuts located inside the bumper (there are 4 of them in total, 2 on each side);
• dismantle the license plate;
• unscrew the bolts hidden under it and located below, in special openings;
• Then the protective element itself is removed.

If it turns out that the amplifier has also become unusable, it will need to be replaced with a new one. It is held in place by two nuts, unscrew them using a 13mm wrench.

Now all that remains is to move both side brackets from the old to the new. They are secured with three screws each.

It is important not to forget to adjust the amplifier. There should be a gap between it, the headlights and the fenders. This is not difficult to do, since there are special slots on it.

Removing and installing the front bumper

Required tools:

• screwdriver or screwdriver with a cross;
• open-end or socket wrench 10 by 8;
• head 13 with collar;
• On average, replacing a front bumper takes a little over an hour. For ease of operation, it is better to drive the car onto a pit or lift.

Sequence of work:

1. Unscrew the front wheel protection, these are 3 screws from the bumper with a screwdriver.
2. Move the protection to the side and gain access to the inside of the bumper.
3. Using a 10mm wrench, unscrew the two nuts inside the bumper.
4. Unscrew everything on the other side of the car in the same sequence.
5. Remove the license plate, unscrew the two 10mm screws underneath it and the two screws in the windows below.

6. The front bumper has been removed.

If the amplifier is damaged, it can also be replaced. For this:

1. Unscrew 2 nuts with a 13 head on each side.
2. Leave the shims on the studs.
3. Twist the side brackets from the old to the new bumper (3 screws on each side)
4. Adjust the height of the amplifier by setting the gap between it and the headlights and fender. This is possible thanks to the slots made.

Reassembling the structure is done in the reverse order.

How to repair a bumper

If the damage is minor, then there is no need to spend money on a new element. The following defects can be eliminated independently without problems:

• dents;
• scratches;
• small holes.

It would be advisable to repair only a bumper that has not lost its integrity. Now stores sell special kits that include everything you need.

Cracks and holes are fixed on the reverse side with fiberglass and liquid plastic. Next you need to sand the damaged areas with coarse sandpaper. This should be done without much fanaticism, so as not to damage the plastic. The defect is masked with universal putty. The surface is lightly sanded again, but with very fine-grained sandpaper. Afterwards you need to wipe with a damp cloth - this will remove dust.

The prepared surface is treated with an aerosol primer. It must be applied in two layers. Each will take half an hour to dry. Finally they are coated with paint. At least 3 coats will be required. It is important to choose it exactly by color. A single coat dries completely in about 30 minutes. In order for the composition to be sprayed evenly, the container must be kept at a distance of 20 centimeters.

The result is fixed with two layers of colorless varnish.

Standard front bumper VAZ 2113—2115

In accordance with the general trend, on Russian-made VAZ 2113–2115 cars, bumpers made of plastic and painted in the color of the car are installed. These are the most vulnerable body elements, located low above the road surface and taking on all kinds of mechanical loads. The front body kit suffers especially, where stones often fly from under the wheels of oncoming traffic, which is why parts have to be removed for repair or replacement. But thanks to the simplicity of the design, any motorist with the time and desire can handle the removal. Let's consider the task of removing the front and rear bumpers using the example of the VAZ 2114 and analogues.

How to remove the rear bumper on a VAZ 2114?

As you use your car, it becomes necessary to replace damaged body parts. The bumper is no exception. This element has more than just a decorative purpose. The bumper reinforcement, securely connected with mounting brackets, is capable of protecting body parts in the event of an accident. When planning to independently repair and maintain the car, you need to learn how to remove the bumper on a VAZ 2114. Knowledge of the design features will allow you to independently remove and replace cracked or damaged protection parts on the front and rear of the car.

Why remove bumpers on VAZ 2113-2115

What kind of “blows of fate” do the front and rear body kits experience during operation? Either a stone will fly, then someone in the parking lot will catch it and scratch it, or even the driver himself will drive into a snowdrift where an iron pipe is hiding. Not to mention such little things as traces of insects crashing on the front. Some of the listed defects can be eliminated without removing parts from the car, but in case of serious damage, dismantling is inevitable.

Such damage cannot be repaired, the body kit is easier to change

A separate story is a collision during an accident, as a result of which the bumper often turns into outright trash, unsuitable for repair. Fortunately, spare parts for Russian cars are freely available and their prices are quite affordable.

Reference. The cost of the front and rear body kits is almost the same and starts from 2,600 rubles. for an unpainted part. Prices for products with color coating start from 3,250 rubles.

The main reasons why owners of the “thirteenth” and “fifteenth” VAZ models have to dismantle the bumpers are as follows:

1. It is necessary to completely repaint the car and perform body repairs.
2. To repair or replace a broken body kit.
3. It is easier to install fog lights on the removed front element.
4. You need to get to other body parts located under the bumper.
5. It was decided to throw away the stock factory body kits and install beautiful elements of the original shape, that is, to do partial styling of the car.

This is what the VAZ 2115 styling front body kit looks like

Note. To this day you can find budget black bumpers on VAZ 13-15 series cars. The owners of these cars, as soon as possible, remove unsightly parts in order to paint them in the desired color or replace them with painted ones.

The first 2114 models came with black body kits

How to remove the front bumper on a VAZ 2110 and models of this family

If your car has fog lights, they will be removed along with the body kit. Therefore, work must begin by disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery and turning off the headlights. For this purpose, special connectors must be provided in the engine compartment.

Advice. If for some reason the terminal blocks were not provided when installing the wiring to the headlights, install them during the process of replacing the body element.

Then proceed according to this scheme:

1. Place the machine over the inspection ditch, go down and treat all lower threaded connections with WD-40. If this is not done, there is a risk of breaking the bolts when unscrewing. While it eats away the rust, begin dismantling the upper fasteners.
2. Remove the decorative radiator grille installed above the bumper. To do this, open the hood and unscrew the two bolts located on the horizontal panel with a 10 mm wrench. The grate is released from the plastic clips if you carefully push it up.
3. Using the same key, unscrew the 2 bolts fastening to the top panel, found under the grille.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the 2 screws located on the front side inside the wheel arch. They attach the body kit to the fender liner. Repeat the operation on the second wheel.
5. 2 more screws are located on the sides of the element on the bottom side, unscrew them.
6. Go down into the inspection hole and, using an 8 mm spanner, unscrew the 5 nuts holding the element in place at the front. They are located along the front overhang of the car. If necessary, align them as described above.
7. All that remains is to loosen and unscrew the 2 bolts located at the edges of the bumper and pressing it to the metal brackets. The operation is also performed from the viewing ditch.

Advice. When unscrewing the screws securing the part to the fender liner, turn the wheels in different directions to make it more convenient to use the screwdriver.

When all connections are loosened, the bumper can be removed without any problems alone. Stand in front of the car, grab it in the center with both hands and pull it towards you with a sharp, confident movement. When the element disengages, remove it and, if necessary, remove the fog lights and plastic amplifier.

The new body kit is mounted in the reverse order: first the headlights are screwed on, then the part is inserted into place and secured with self-tapping screws and nuts. It is recommended to coat the threaded connections with a thick lubricant such as “Solidol” to prevent rusting.

Advice. Before installing a new element, inspect the joints of the metal body parts hidden behind it. If you find traces of corrosion, clean them, degrease them and apply 2 coats of paint, one coat of primer at a time.

The radiator grille is attached with two bolts from above. After unscrewing the bolts, the grille is removed from the latches. This latch holds the radiator grille. From below, you need to unscrew 5 nuts. On the bottom sides of the bumper, the bumper is held on by self-tapping screws. These 2 self-tapping screws secure the body kit to the fender liner. Attachment to the side brackets - bottom view. 2 upper mounting bolts are hidden. under the radiator grille The last stage is removing the body kit

What is important to know when purchasing new products for VAZ 2113, 2114 and 2115

Unlike foreign-made cars, it is easy to buy the necessary spare parts for the VAZ 2113, including new bumpers. In the retail chain, these parts are found in two forms:

• black, without painting;
• painted in any color of your choice.

Body kits of different colors and shapes

Advice. If you decide to change body kits because of their unpresentable appearance, then it is easier and cheaper to buy ready-made products painted in the color of the car. The difference in price is 700-900 rubles. will not allow you to save a significant amount on painting a black bumper.

Unpainted parts are usually taken during a major body repair with full painting or in the case of repainting the car in some individual color. It is also appropriate here to remember those owners whose cars were equipped from the factory with unpainted elements, which, if they break down, are easily replaced with similar ones.

Standard front bumper VAZ 2113—2115

When choosing a new bumper for VAZ 2113 (2114, 2115), consider several recommendations:

1. There are several manufacturers on the market that use various raw materials, including recycled ones, to produce plastic body parts. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to the elasticity of the plastic. If it is initially rigid, then at negative temperatures it will become very brittle.
2. Before purchasing a new product, remove the old body kit to check the condition of the amplifier underneath. If the disassembly was caused by the plastic breaking due to an impact, then the amplifier could also be damaged. In addition, it will be possible to compare the factory bumper with the part offered in the store.
3. Check the element for minor paint defects. It happens that plastic parts are damaged during transportation.
4. If you notice that the design of the new bumper is additionally reinforced from the inside, then buy it with confidence, since such products are more reliable in operation.
5. Please note that there are openings for installing fog lights. There are products on sale for the VAZ 2114 that are not equipped with holes.
6. When purchasing, make sure that the items fit your car in size. You should not purchase bumpers for a VAZ 2115 from a VAZ 2114 and vice versa, since they differ in dimensions, although they are mounted in the same way.

Factory bumper VAZ 2113—2115

Wanting to give their cars individuality, their owners often do partial styling, replacing the stock (factory) body kits with more original and attractive ones that differ in shape. As a rule, such elements can be easily installed on standard mounts and do not require modifications.

Reference. The prices of serial styling bumpers are not much higher than stock ones and start from 3,500 rubles. (for an unpainted product). Original works can cost significantly more.

How to remove the front bumper on a VAZ-2113, 2114, 2115

The bumper is an essential part of the body and gives the car a beautiful finished look. At the same time, it acts as a car protector from minor accidents. When they do, it breaks, extinguishing part of the force of an impact or collision.

With a metal bumper, the entire impact will fall on the car; more important parts and the driver may suffer. Therefore, bumpers are made of plastic or other synthetic materials and are considered consumables.

The edges of the bumper on the 2114 act as a spoiler, increasing downforce. On 2114 it is more inflated than on other models of this manufacturer, which is due to the width of the car and the desire of the designers to increase the safe area of ​​the bumper.

The front bumper on the 2114, however, as on the vast majority of cars, performs the following functions:

• decorative;
• protective;
• covering other parts of the body.
• replacing a broken bumper due to an accident or minor collision;
• engine repair, especially radiator replacement and the like;
• installation of decorative trim and protective aluminum mesh;
• If the bumper is broken, you can buy a new one, or do gluing, puttying and painting.

When choosing a new one, follow these tips:

• pay attention to the thickness of the plastic, the thicker it is, the better (the manufacturer is not so important);
• when buying a painted one, guess exactly the color;
• The 2114 fits the bumper from model 15 “Sniper” with space for fog lights.

VAZ has launched the production of spare bumpers, already painted in the color of the car. And their cost cannot be compared with the cost of bumpers for foreign cars. Cost depending on the region from 2500 rubles. painted and 2000 rub. without painting.

If you do not replace a broken bumper , the aesthetic appearance of the car will be compromised; in addition, all the energy of the next collision can transfer to the body of the car and lead to serious damage. First of all, the radiator and fan, fender liners, and radiator frame (TV) may fail.

Design Features

The design and method of attaching body kits on Lada 13-15 series cars differs from other models of the “tenth” VAZ family. Design features are as follows:

• Additional metal brackets for fastening to the body are installed inside the plastic elements;
• the brackets are held on by threaded connections and screwed to the bumper with self-tapping screws;
• plastic latches appeared on the central part of the front bumper;
• the edges of the rear body kit are pulled to the body by nuts hidden behind the wheel arches;
• It is easier to remove the front and rear parts together with the amplifier, and then unscrew it if necessary.

Front bumper design

The listed features make it somewhat difficult to dismantle elements from the machine, since the threads located next to the wheels become covered with dirt and rust during operation. Over the years, corrosion also eats away at bare metal brackets that are not protected by any coating.

The rusted bracket needs to be replaced

Hence the advice: when disassembling, take your time and do not apply much force, otherwise you will break the bolts. It is better to replace rusty brackets with new ones, but they must first be coated with a primer and painted in any color.

How to remove the rear bumper of a VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115

1. If the car has fender liners, unscrew the screws securing them to the bumper, or remove the rear wheel fender liners.
2. Using a 10mm socket wrench, unscrew the two nuts for the side fastening of the bumper on the right side of the car and remove the trim. In the same way, unscrew the two nuts on the side fastening of the bumper and remove the trim on the other side.
3. Using a 13mm socket, unscrew the two nuts securing the right bumper bracket to the body.
4. Holding the bumper, unscrew the two nuts securing the left bracket to the body.
5. Remove the bumper from the car.
6. Install the bumper in reverse order.

Instructions for dismantling the front body kit with your own hands

To disassemble the bumper mounts you will need the following tool:

• Phillips screwdriver;
• 8 mm socket wrench;
• the same, size 10 mm.

Disassembly tool

Advice. Instead of separate keys during disassembly, it is more convenient to use heads with an extension and a wrench equipped with a ratchet.

It is more convenient to work with sockets and a ratchet wrench

Since most threaded joints are likely to be rusty, you will need to use WD-40 spray lubricant to rotate them. Apply it to all bolts and nuts before unscrewing.

It is more convenient to work with the lower mounts of the front body kit from the inspection ditch, from where they are clearly visible, although if necessary, you can dismantle the bumper without a pit. At the final stage, when the element is removed from the machine, it is worth having an assistant support the part by the second edge.

If the car is equipped with fog lights, the process begins by disconnecting the battery from the on-board network. Further work is performed in the following sequence:

1. Open the hood and use a screwdriver to unscrew the 4 screws holding the upper part of the radiator grille. Remove it from the car.
2. The lower part of the radiator grille is held in place by 4 self-tapping screws - a pair from the outside and two more from the engine compartment. Unscrew them and remove the grille part.
3. Unscrew the 6 screws of the lower body kit mounting. They are located on the rounded parts of the element, 3 on each side.
4. Remove the plastic protection installed under the wheel arches by unscrewing the bolts and nuts with a 10 mm wrench. For greater convenience, you can remove the wheel. Unscrew the front part of the fender liner.
5. Now you have access to the bracket, where you need to loosen and unscrew 2 10 mm nuts. Don't forget to treat the joints with WD-40.
6. Remove the license plate, underneath it you will find 2 more front mounting bolts. Unscrew them, as well as the 2 screws located near the air intake opening.

After disassembly, you will see plastic latches on the horizontal plane of the body kit. Unlock them and, together with an assistant, remove the bumper from the car, pushing it forward and holding it on both sides. Before doing this, disconnect the power wires for the fog lights so that you don’t have to do it while hanging.

Note. After dismantling the element, access to the plastic amplifier mount will open. If it is damaged and needs to be replaced, you need to unscrew the 4 nuts with a 13 mm socket and remove the part from the studs.

If you need to install a new body kit instead of a broken one, then you need to twist the metal brackets from the latter. To do this, just unscrew the 3 fastening screws. The brackets themselves should be cleaned of rust and painted so that they do not rot prematurely. The bumper is installed in the same way, only in reverse order.

Front bumper

Replacing the front bumper of a VAZ 2114 with your own hands takes a little time. If it is necessary to replace the radiator or grille, the procedure takes longer. Removing the body kit for all VAZ 2113-2115 models is carried out in the same way.

Tool

To replace the body kit you will need the following tools:

• Screwdriver Set;
• open-end wrenches 8 and 10 mm;
• 13 mm ratchet head with crank.

Step-by-step removal

To remove the front bumper of a VAZ 2114, place the car on a viewing hole or a lift. The algorithm for dismantling the body kit is as follows:

• The electrical connections to the license plate and fog lights must be turned off before any work can be done.
• The fastening bolts and nuts are treated against rust, as well as for better loosening, with VD-40 aerosol.
• Unfasten the front wheel fenders.
• Unscrew the fender liner mounting plate with a 10 mm wrench.

• Remove the 3 screws that are attached to the body kit.
• Using a 8 key, remove the 6 screws securing the fender liner to the front fender.

• Pull back the fender liner.
• Remove the radiator and headlight trims.

• Using a 10 mm wrench, unscrew the 2 nuts securing the left side of the bumper.
• Pull it a little to the side so that the studs come out of the body bracket.

• In a similar way, you need to unscrew the right side of the bumper.
• Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the mounting screws under the license plate and unscrew the 2 screws located below. Disconnect the license plate.

If the amplifier is damaged, replace it. Using a 13 mm socket, unscrew 2 nuts on each side. The amplifier is adjusted during installation using shims.

Installation

Before installing a damaged body kit, it is necessary to repair it and paint it. Installation of the front bumper on a VAZ 2114 is carried out in the reverse order of dismantling. Remember this rule: when we install the bumper in place, it is necessary to check all the gaps between the amplifier, fender, body, headlights, grilles and only then attach it.

There are various situations when you need to remove the front or rear bumper on a VAZ 2115. I found myself in a not very pleasant situation when, in a collision with a motorcycle, I had to remove the bumper with my own hands right on the road.

How to remove the rear

You will need: a “10” wrench, “10” and “13” socket heads, an extension, a wrench, a Phillips-blade screwdriver.

1. Unscrew the two nuts securing the left side bracket of the bumper trim to the body.

How to remove the rear bumper

To replace the rear body kit, an inspection ditch is not needed, since there is fairly easy access to the lower nuts and screws. But the set of necessary tools will have to be supplemented:

• 13 mm head;
• jack;
• wheel wrench;
• wooden stands for the rear wheel hubs.

Advice. It doesn’t hurt to stock up on a brush with metal bristles to clean the fasteners from dirt or anti-corrosion coating.

The problem is that with the wheels installed, it is difficult to get to the threaded connections located on the back side of the wheel arch. Therefore, before carrying out work, you need to secure the car at the front with wheel chocks and remove both rear wheels, resting the hubs on stands. The next procedure is as follows:

1. Remove the plastic wheel arch protection by unscrewing the screws holding it. Perform the operation on both sides.
2. Looking under the back of the arch, you will find 2 studs with tightened nuts. Treat them with a brush and WD-40, and then unscrew the socket 10 mm. Remove the plastic trim. Repeat on the other side.
3. Loosen and unscrew the 4 13mm socket nuts that secure the bumper reinforcement to the steel body parts. They are located under the body kit in pairs.
4. Together with an assistant, grasp the edges of the bumper, remove the side mounting studs from the holes and remove it by pushing it backwards.

Note. In this way, the part is removed along with the amplifier. If you want to dismantle only the body kit, you will have to lie under the car to unscrew the 4 mounting screws, which is inconvenient.

When the element is removed from the car, it is easy to dismantle the amplifier and brackets and move them to a new bumper. There are no electrical wiring or lampshades here, so you don’t have to disconnect the battery or disconnect the connectors.

With the rear body kit removed, the condition of the steel body elements is clearly visible. If you find traces of corrosion, then there is no better time to remove it and touch up the paint. Pay attention to the condition of the side bumper mounting brackets; replace them if necessary. The element is placed back together with an assistant, the task is to simultaneously insert the studs into the holes of the arches. You can tighten the nuts and screws in any order; at the end, put the protection and wheels in place.

For car service specialists, replacing bumpers on VAZ 2113–2115 cars will take a maximum of an hour. The owner of the car will need twice as much time to disassemble it independently, but will be able to save at least 2,000 rubles on the cost of work. Hence the conclusion: it is not advisable to contact a car service center with such questions, unless you do not have the required amount of time.

Rear bumper

In the VAZ 2114, as in other models 2113 and 2115, it is not difficult to remove the rear bumper, but outside help will be useful. The amplifier is removed along with the body kit to check the condition.

Dismantling

The rear bumper on VAZ 2115, 2114 and 2113 is mounted on the rear beam using brackets. To remove the rear bumper of a VAZ 2114, you must perform the following steps:

• Remove the rear wheel fenders.
• Use a metal brush to clean off dirt, grease, and oil, and inject VD-40 aerosol while working.

• Using a 10 mm socket with a wrench, unscrew the 4 bolts on which the bumper should be attached, 2 bolts on each side.
• Unscrew the 3 nuts of the bracket for fastening the reinforcement beam using a 13 mm wrench.

• The beam with the bumper must be dismantled.
• Unscrew the screws and disconnect the beam.

The damaged bumper is ready for repair or replacement.

How much does a bumper (rear and front) cost for a VAZ 2115

The cost of a VAZ 2115 bumper varies from 2,125 to 8,500 rubles . This price includes products made of plastic, fiberglass and ABS plastic, which can be installed on the front and rear of the car without making changes to the power structure.

The bumper on the VAZ 2115 is an energy-absorbing part of the power structure , which prevents damage to the engine compartment in minor collisions. All proposed bumpers are installed on standard mounting locations, without moving the mountings and mounting brackets. Thus, the entire installation process takes no more than 20 minutes.

In addition to positioning the VAZ 2115 bumper as part of the load-bearing structure, it is a hinged body element with thoughtful geometric proportions and internal reinforcements. This allows you to move among tall grass and small branches without any problems. The bumper provides comprehensive protection, both through the front overhang and central points, from damage to the head lighting equipment.

The rear bumper of the VAZ 2110 performs similar functions. It already has standard holes for installing a towbar, as well as a 12 V socket on its front panel. Given the limited size of the power structure of the rear of the car, the bumper is also small. This is also reflected in its cost, which is usually 20-25% lower than the front one.

How to remove the rear bumper on a VAZ-2115: step-by-step instructions

Removing the rear bumper of the VAZ-2115 is quite simple without the presence of an inspection ditch. To do this, you will need a 13mm socket, a jack, a wheel wrench, and a wooden stand for the rear wheel hub in the amount of 2 pieces. If there is dirt or rust on the nuts, a metal brush will come in handy. Let's look at the step-by-step instructions for removing the rear bumper:

1. Remove the rear wheels of the car, installing wheel chocks in front, and place both rear axle hubs on stands.
2. Remove the protection from the wheel arches and unscrew the screws. Do this on both sides of the machine.
3. From the bottom of the arch, unscrew the 4 studs with nuts, having previously treated them with VD-40 lubricant and brushed them over the metal. Remove the plastic cover.
4. Unscrew the nuts located under the canopy connecting the amplifier to other elements of the machine.
5. Carefully remove the bumper, removing the pins of the side fastenings.

In this way, the rear bumper is removed along with the amplifier. To remove just the bumper, you will need to remove additional mounting screws under the car that connect the booster to the bumper.
