sagging front bumper, brackets needed, but which ones?

I've got a set of bumper brackets from Cyntax, but they go at the side. I also need the ones under the headlight, as mine have already broken. Is this the one:

They're £4 ish each from Mazda, just one for each side, under different part numbers:

51-0A7A and 51-0B7.

Not sure if I'm looking at the right thing. Anyone bought them before know what I'm looking for?!

Thanks!

What you'll find is that the AAC brackets will pull the front of the bumper up, and remove the gap under the headlights.

Tose clips are for holding the top lip in. I though mine were broken untill I fitter the brackets, gave it a quick hit with the palm of my hand, and now it sits in nice and snug ;)

Once the brackets are fitter, it is quite easy to remove the bumper (relativley easy to begine with!), so if you find that it still doesn't sit right, you can change the clips.

If you want, the Mazda garage that I deal with give me a min of 15% discount, so I can get some clips for you, and just post them over (don't worry about the cost of a stamp ;))

Yep, you want those clips, they are handed, so you need one of each. Check them before you leave the dealers - mine gave me 2 right hand ones, but they were in right and left bags :roll:

if you have the AAC brackets they will help hold it all together, but if not, the headlamp clips are usually the ones that have let go. The large bolts underneath the bumper can also give you a sagging bumper if they're not fitted...ask Cyntax :evil4:

Sorry, just re-read your post :oops:

You don't have the AAC fitted yet...so those little clips will have caused your sag, buy some more, we'll fit the lot on Saturday :)
