Anyone fitted these? I have looked underneath the rear bumper and there is a steel channel running the width of the car, there are two ovals cut out of this channel that will allow the sensors to be mounted there but they will be as pairs not spaced out as shown in the instructions. Something is better than nothing i guess

Get the bumper off a car or van that already has them ? My van has it as standard. That way you already have the holes. I don't know anyone who has fitted an aftermarket kit. Is this what your fitting?

Yes they are aftermarket ones. The plastic bumper is no problems it the metal channel behind it, i am guessing thats the real bumper and drilling holes in it will weaken it.

Can you look online for pictures of the bumper reinforcement bar for a model with parking sensors and see what it looks like.

I fitted a wireless kit a few years ago and running the cable through the plastic bumper is a pain as it is honeycombed

I have to laugh I disabled my parking sensors as I couldn't put up with the incessant beeping !!
Good luck with it anyway.

I couldn't do without mine. Having a van with steel rear doors and no windows, in the city centre, it's a must. Ok not much use for those who have windows to look out of, and a rear view mirror....
