Parking sensor question

Post by jasonl1599 »

Hi,

I,ve managed to get hold of a rear diffuser to fit to my titanium, however it has the original holes in it for parking sensors.. My car already has these in the bumper above, so I've managed to get a pair off eBay to use as blanks only to cover the holes. However upon inspection they are a lot smaller than the holes

I believe I need some rubber or plastic holders that the sensors sit in

Anyone know how to get hold of two of these?

Here's a stock photo of what I think I need:

Can you measure the hole diameter and let me know. I have a few sets of different adaptors.

thanks for the response, i'll do this tonight as at work now. It looks like the standard size for these, almost round but a little bit oval. I'd say from memory about 1 inch, I'll confirm size asap though.

Hi,
Hole is 3cm from top to bottom, and just under 3cm from side to side (more oval than circle)

hey guys did you ever sort these out? Ive had the same problem but never realised these were out there to be used for this reason haha, had to fashion my own and to be honest they'd look better if replaced with these, do you know where i can get a set or what they are called?

many thanks jamie :)

Really? That's a lot cheaper than what I expected! Good find :)

I don't suppose you have the packet with the part number on still do you?
