Sorry one more thing do parking sensors in any way effect the fitting of a new valance??


....Parking sensors are usually in the upper section of rear, so no.

....It's a subject which has been much debated. I have found them very useful sometimes in 'seeing' things which aren't obvious or which simply aren't visible to the naked eye. I don't care what other people think about me for having them - I have them solely for my benefit and no-one else's.

Was the £340 for the whole rear ie top and bottom sections? Or was that just the lower valance? Why is there £300 of a difference? Are they made of gold FFS.

The other option is to get your standard valance colour coded.  Paint the majority but leave the part below the curved line bare plastic.  Would look good and save you a fair bit.

I thought all valences would fit the top section :-(

I've got parking sensors in the top section of mine and hoped either to change my abt quad valance for the r 32 with the cf insert ala robin or the ed 30 and get a new milly.

got me thier Red Robin,i like the idea of the camera in the mk 6 as you can't see it,think reverse sensors spoil the look of the car-if we all liked the same thing,the world would be a boring place :happy2:

....I wholeheartedly agree about us not all liking the same thing etc, but do wish that some were as honest as you and admitted they just didn't like the look of reversing sensors rather than the sissy comments. I guess that people like that are somewhat over concerned about what others might think of them.

Thats not correct.  I fitted an ed30 bumper to my standard gti top half.  All golfs have the same top piece
