V8 Vantage Roadster Front Parking Sensors

[Manwhoneverwas]

I am working on an update to my MY 2008 V8 Vantage Roadster.
All will be revealed in the fullness of time (i.e. the 2nd year anniversary of my ownership in November).

My question is when did Front Parking sensors become a factory option & can they be retrofitted to my MY 2008 Roadster

I think it was on the MY09 4.7 release

I'm pretty sure they all had them as standard.

My 07 V8V non-roadster doesn't have them.

Rear sensors are standard. Front are optional.

Correct and Grant's book will tell you when they became an option.

Front sensors optional from 09 model year (Page 194)

So if they are a factory option from MY 2009 then my MY 2008 Roadster will not have the wiring loom for them and I would imagine this would mean a retrofit is very difficult?

Is it a true MY08 (4.3?) if so unlikely
