fitting aftermarket radar sensors
« on: 22 October 2012, 20:25:27 »

what goes on under the bumper on the estate facelift?  is it really as simple as using the supplied hole cutter on the thing?,  (in appropriate nice and level positions,  assuming there are any)

thinking about maybe seeing if i can fit the range meter in the space below the front of the G?ID (my CID died shortly after acquisition)

Assuming rear. Yes they just plug into the plastic, but you'll need to insure they don't foul the polystyrene on re fitting.
 
Would encourage the oe system if it's not too late though..?

As gayboy gixer says...  ...OE is a far better system than any aftermarket system. Assuming you haven't already paid.

OE is best,but having said that,my latest breaker has an aftermarket system which looks very similar to OE apart from the sensors are smaller in diameter (looks better imo) and it worked a treat,so the whole thing complete with bumper is going on my own car.
The bumper is a bit tatty,but no more than the one I already have.Just a pity the bumper wasnt a minter or it would have been a right result. :)

11.98 including delivery and correct sized hole cutter , seemed rude not to...   will be investigating positioning carefully before going ahead....     OE system would be preferred,  but figured i'd fit this, and make sure the next mig has it already.
