How to mount Front parking sensors

[Christophoon]

HI All,

I'm changing over from Evoke front bumper to an SV6 (will deal with the electronics of DRLs eventually) but I have noticed there may be a strange mount for the front sensors?

The two closest to the number plate on a VF1 sv6/ssv bumper. is there any documentation on how these are mounted? do I need a specific sensor/mounting clip like the DRL ones?

Did your sv6 bumper not come with the sensors and loom?

If it did not come with the loom and sensors they may have removed the mounting hardware with the sensors which will mean you may need to source those pieces to mount them properly.

no loom or sensors at all. from what i've seen of other sv6 bumper fronts they "just clip in" so i'll have another look for some internal shots

the drl surrounds came with looms which is fine

from memory there is a piece that clips into that spot that holds the sensor.

yeah near the number plate, might call some wreckers in the morning

this might help, i cant find the exact part but in the manual you can see the sensor has a plastic surround, 2 different styles shown.
