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.

The sensors fitted to the bumper are actually in two parts, a holder, the outer part & the sensor itself, the inner part .

If you look on the rear of the sensors you should be able too see that the outer part has two clips (part of the holder) on it that holds the centre part (sensor), release the clips & push the sensor through (easier said than done ) from the painted side of the bumper (out of the back of the bumper), once this is out, the outer part (the sensor holder) pushes out the other way from the rear (back of the bumper) out through the painted side, I'm pretty sure that's how they are removed .

There's always the possibility that I could be wrong (I have removed quite a few, but I can't be 100% certain that that's how they come out, I'm 98% sure ).
