Re: Front parking sensor's

That is a a system used by a lot of manufacturers, although usually by factory installed systems not dealer fitted.
My factory installed system has a on off switch. It stays on permanently unless it is switched off. I was hoping it was going to be like yours reverse activated.

Re: Front number plate holder

It is a plan but it would mean drlling a 10mm dia hole and if the installation is unsuccessful you are stuck with it, and in thin soft materials the problem is stopping them turning whilst they are tightened up. I think you are referring to a jack nut which expands from behind whilst being tightened...
