Front parking sensors

[akita1]

Afternoon all I have an 2006v8v which came without front parking sensors I have been looking into this and have found a 2 sensor kit which will suit my needs not wanting to start hacking and drilling I was thinking of fitting a later lower grill which has the cut outs for parking sensors and utilising this my question is does anyone know if the lower grill is a direct replacement.many thanks.

I think adam altered his old green v8 roadster to the newer front but I think it took a lot of doing from memory,
I am sure there will be some one along shortly to point you in the correct direction

Hi Akita1,
I was thinking of front parking sensors for my 2007 model. Which kit have you been looking at? I was wondering if it would be possible to mount sensors in aluminium blocks and fix to front lower grille in a similar fashion to those on the rear mesh.
Any thoughts? David.

These guys can fix you up if anyone can.

Hi David the later grill has 2 openings for sensors you just need 2 mounting blocks which are about £3.00 each from aston bits the grill is a bit more expensive! the 2 sensor kit is from a firm called Hawk alarms ( cant seem to put a link up ) they also do a kit which uses a metal strip which is stuck to the rear of the bumper and invisible but requires the bumper to be removed which I don't fancy doing hope this helps,Bill.

Thanks Bill, I think, when funds allow, I’m going to go with Aston Installations front and rear cameras. They fitted them to my son in law’s Rapide and are brilliant. Also impressed by the Bluetooth installation they did on my car.

At the end of the day will save all the messing about with grilles etc.

Cheers, David.
