Hi,

I have a donner car that I want to remove the parking sensors off and put them on to my car!

How hard is it and what would it require doing/buying?

Many thanks!

It's not a job I'd fancy taking on. Means drilling your bumper, might have to cut and splice all sorts of wires (I'm not sure if there's a connector) and again will need coding.

I have no idea but AFAIK there are markings on the inside of the bumper for drilling. But as TOG said wiring could be a mare.

If I was going to retrofit id probably go for a universal kit as there's nothing special about OE parking sensors.

Have you seen this note on retrofitting? There are other resources about it on car repair guides and I have read from it that fitting them is a really easy DIY job. Usually it takes an hour unless you need to take the bumper off.
