Parking sensors fitted

[Graham]

Just to confirm that the gadgetman parking sensor kit off ebay is an exact paint match for flame red.

Now just have to pluck up the courage to test them to the max with out nudging anything

Hi, had a look on fleabay under gadgetman sensors but can not find any. Do you have a linky please.
I have the same car and colour as you and would like to take the plunge myself.

I ve seen the measurements you have posted is it a matter of drilling the holes insert the wires and sensor and connect to the reversing wire.

Any pics as to where you connect up please.

Also the B figure is that distance from A sensor or from the starting point?

You get the correct size hole saw with the kit. I just drilled pilots first.

I took a live feed from the nearside reversing lamp (white and black wire at the bottom of the plug) and used a scotch lock clip, then earthed to the lamp unit retaining studs.

I fed all the wire through a grommet that was present after removing my toe bar electrics and mounted the control box beside the rear fuse box.

The measurement (B) is distance between the sensors. I started by measuring (A) from the numberplate recess

I hope this helps

Click on the Ebay linky in this thread. 4th colour line down it shows light silver not sure if that means lightning silver.

[yysnet]

bump, any one have ideas of that "lighting silver" (it looks like a light blue from my eye)?
