Post by: Richn83 on October 11, 2010, 10:18:34 am: Very nice looking car, be interested to see how the ride height looks after the springs settle. Looks like you also have the rear parking sensors.

Post by: stealthwolf on October 14, 2010, 04:03:05 am: Hi and welcome.

Am on iphone so can't see the pics clearly enough. Are the sensors flush with the bumper or do they stick out? if the latter, they're probably retrofitted.

Post by: POC on October 16, 2010, 07:28:23 pm: Hi guys :laugh:

The parking sensors do sit proud of the rear bumper, just found the control box is kinds loose in around the spare wheel so cant imagine they are factory fit!
