Wanted: Rear Parking Sensors - Sterling Grey

At least one of mine is borked and letting water in and messing up the parking sensors. Looking to get fully working sealed units which is water tight to replace it.

Ebay is probably your best shout

Last time I checked they were approx £25 (aftermarket) new, then just get your local body shop to colour match them.

For the record they cannot have regular paint on them. They need a special paint that doesn't absorb radar. So be careful buying black ones and getting them painted.

I got a used parking sensor from Quarry Motors in Sheffield. They are a BMW breakers and just google them to get the details. The cost was £20 posted to me.

I wouldn’t use touch up paint...its far too thick. Rattle can is the way to go. Two very thin coats is all you need.
