Retro-fit reversing sensors

oldie · 21st January 2018, 18:13

Is it possible to colour/paint retro-fit reversing sensors to match the bumper without loosing efficiency, or even completely trashing them? Equally importantly, is it a straightforward task?

what colour is your bumper, if a standard Rover colour someone may have a set

I fitted Cisbo sensors about 8 years ago, still going strong. The bumper is marked on the back for the holes, dead easy

I have repainted mine with a touch-up brush without any issues , so I don't see a problem . If you are starting from scratch you probably need a coat of plastic primer first

It's the Seafrost Contemporary on eBay. I'm wondering: a) is the car worth the money; and b) the possibilities and cost of retro-fitting SE specification items.

when I did mine I bought a complete car and swopped the bumper with the sensors in. Also took the control unit. plug and play all worked well and as I cant see the boot when reversing and excellent addition to the car
