Hey everyone,

I've got a 2006 Mazda3 hatchback. I need some help removing both the Front and rear bumpers of the car. My wife went into a small ditch and both bumpers have been slightly damaged.

The front bumper near the driver side wheel well is lose from the car, basically the bracket that holds the bumper to the body seems to have cracked and isn't doing what it should.

The rear bumper isn't to bad but basically some of the parts under the car that hold the bumper to the body have snapped in 2.

I'll post some pics of the issue, but can anyone point me to a DIY to remove both bumpers so I can assess the damage and fix them myself.

Thanks.

Rear bumper is surprisingly difficult (as in many steps) :(
