Suppliers of painted parking sensors?
Hi folks
I've got an errant rear parking sensor (inner one) and since Avus silver isn't exactly common on an S8 I'm not bothering to look for used ones. Car has had at least 1 sensor replaced in the past, where it's been painted by someone with Airfix experience (but not in a good way!) Most new sensors on ebay seem to be non-OEM, which is fine so long as they work. I can get a full set of 4 for not much more than the price on 1 OEM sensor! Has anyone ordered from a company called Dropedo in Germany? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alle-Farbe...-/261875758727 At that price, including painting, they seem like a bargain but obviously if they're brush painted they may not look that clever!

I think Brian has bought painted sensors in the past - I'm sure he'll be along shortly.

Cool - thanks folks. That's the same shop I found on ebay.de but slightly cheaper to buy off their German site in Euros, if the quoted exchange rate is correct.
Did they look to have spray painted, or by hand? I've got a bill for a new sensor in the car file, but it went on the car unpainted at the request of the previous owner and the paint has flaked off quite badly. Last time I bought a sensor for our old A6 I bought OEM and had it spray painted so by the time it was fitted it must've cost me £150! I have no skills with a paint brush/can/sprayer so if they're good quality I'd rather buy them pre-done by someone with the correct gear, or buy unpainted and get them done by a paint shop.

looks to be sprayed Adrian, would say the quality is very good and way better than I could achieve with a can or brush

Really good customer service from that German seller - sent an e-mail to get confirmation that these are sprayed in a booth and clear coated after. Had a reply really quickly and they asked for my VIN to confirm fitment. Invoice sent and paid by Paypal so hopefully they'll be on their way soon enough
 Will post some pics when they turn up and are fitted
