Hi,

My Audi A4 (2009) already has rear parking sensors fitted, can anyone recommend someone to fit front sensors too, ideally near SW London?

Alternatively, has anyone heard of these guys - www.oemretrofits.co.uk??

Thanks

Will

Are you handy with a screwdriver? Fairly straightforward to do yourself.

Reasonably, but its the making holes in the bumper that scares me...

There's a tool you can buy, it has a drill bit with a larger cutter fitted to it, 20mm is the one you want.

Get a drill with speed setting and go reasonably slowly, the inside of the bumper cover will have the markings where to make the cuts.

Fronts are far more challenging to do than rears - as well as the 4 sensors (potentially a replacement grill as well as drilling holes in bumper which should be marked on the inside where to put them) you need to wire in the dash switch to turn the system on and off if you want to be able to activate it going into spaces front first. Obviously rear only systems are activated by selecting reverse.

It's do-able but defo one for the pros if you don't feel confident pulling the dash to bits
