Parking sensor cover, front bumper, silver
Hi,
An annoying little problem I knew about when buying is a replaced front parking sensor which is working but has no silver cover. The previous owner said he had put in a new sensor and that a cover might be available. Does anyone know if a cover IS available or, if not, how might make the appearance acceptable? Right now the front of the car looks like someone has a big spot on their otherwise handsome face... Robert

I don't think I've ever seen one with a cover; they're all just painted as far as I know. Whenever I've needed to replace any I usually just phone my local body shop and ask them to order a few and paint them for me, then I call in and have them fitted when they're done.

I ordered sensors from these guys
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2618757587...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Give them your paint code and they paint and ship from Germany. I still have mine waiting to be fitted, as the intermittent issue I was having with my rear sensors has stopped since receiving them! I will change them eventually as someone has (badly) hand painted a couple in the past and my pressure washer has taken some paint off them

They were good to deal with as I queried their painting process to make sure I'd be happy with the finish I bought a set of 4 as even with painting they're cheaper than 1 from TPS, from memory
