BRG/Blk Cooper S · Mar 31st, 2008, 12:47 AM

Hi all,
I'm replacing my rear bumper on the S after it was damaged by several drivers who clearly couldn't park..

Managed to find a new section (driver had aero kit fitted within days of delivery) for £30 and M-Style are changing the colour to BRG for £150 + Vat - not bad, around 40% of what the dealership quoted for a bumper section.

I've read the FAQ re bumper removal, have all the right tools and am familiar with how it all comes apart, I also have new black trims for the the wheel arches and the bumper (they have been victims of the odd scuff here and there so thought I'd do it all at once).

The only question I have is how do the PDC sensors detach from the bumper - do they simply push out or do they twist and push?
If anyone knows the answer I'd appreciate the info.

Thanks, Geoff.
