Another Sunday Mod

[Stock323iSaloon]

I've had this PDC kit in the garage for some months and I finally got around doing this. Didn't think I can do this on my own as I was told that any bumper work was a 2-man job, but it's finally done:) Some main points:

- Remove rear bumper (6x13mm bolts inside the boot, 4 plastic push-in plugs inside wheel well)
- Dremell 4 holes in the bottom trim (drill bit supplied with PDC kit)
- Glue in sensors (used 'no more nails' and kitchen sealant). Must be pointing the right way.
- Thread all 4 wires from the sensors through the bumper shock absorber well (quite tricky)
- Power source comes from the reverse lights so you need to tap into one for power (yellow/black), the other for earthing (brown)
- Remove boot trim and secure control box (inside battery well) and connect all wirings (sensors, buzzer, power/earth).
- Thread buzzer/cable under the boot carpet/rear seats and secure it under the front seat
- Tota cost 19.99 + 3 hours labour
- eBay RULZ

I think this is the first mod that I've done that acutally adds value...maybe [hmm

on eBay mate:) I didn't want any LCD display so I bought the one without it. there's so many models to choose from so take your pick:) search for 'parking sensor' and you should get hundreds of hits. if u don't like the buzzer noise from the kit, just pop into Maplins and get a new buzzer of your choice for 1.50 :D

thanks. i have the same rear bumper so hopefully your pics will help me. 20 quid is cheap because one of the local $tealers wanted 300 for the parts and 400 for the labour a few years ago!

[Stock323iSaloon]

in hindside, it is quite easy so give us a should if u need any help. I'll fit it for you for 300 :D

nice job as usual man [cool. I paid 55 quid for ONE replacement sensor on my oem ones :( :(
