OEM Rear sensors

[lantourismo]

Hi,

So looking at a set of the oem rear parking sensors, but they are in the wrong colour, what i want to know is if they would be safe to be repsrayed. Research seems to indicate that 2 coats of paint + 1 clear?

Also, can anyone confirm if there is any difference between the sedan and sportback kits? the sensors themselves look the same.

Run them over to your favourite car audio guys and get them to do it...

What for? Installing them would be fun, however I want to know about respraying them.

Cover them in Carbon Fibre stickers.

In all honesty, it might be a bit risky getting them resprayed. You'll need someone real confident and experienced to colour it.

Haha constant beeping ftw, I covered the parents reversing sensors with duct tape and the sensors went nuts, took mother a while to figure it out best day ever

Yeah, well, on my (just replaced) company mondeo, the sensors went nuts just as soon as the car was put into reverse - after repeatedly taking the thing back over the next two years, they decided it was due to the tow ball...


...thing is, if the tow ball and sensors were genuine Ford, they work properly (like they do on the new one, and like they did on the other Rep's cars).

I got so sick of it I lost it one day and drove the car into the middle of the service reception area and demanded they fix it there and then.


They removed the entire tow bar assy.


Need less to say, when I bought a car for my own use it wasn't a Ford - Hello Mitsubishi!!!

how much are u paying for them Akram?

100$ for an OEM kit, pretty good price I think

Thanks for the tips Hoges, I was thinking that section would be best as it's shape looks more suitable
