Reverse sensors
 
I have an S40 SE LUX

i have bought some after market reverse sensors for it, i seen a S40 at a set of lights i noted the positions.

but when i look at the back of my car it looks as if the where the sensors go is in the area of the bumper beam underneath.

where should i fit them?

this is the sensors i took the option to be painted to the colour of the car

there are markings on the inside of the bumper where the factory sensors fit ...

So the only way to do it is to remove the bumper?

yes , you will have to remove it anyway to fit the sensors ..
Don't forget to prime and paint them , the sun U/V can quickly attack the plastic ..

Also you will have to move them down a bit from the oem marks as your one are flat and not shaped to the bumper like the oem ones.

I was just going to use this to cover the open cuts.

On my bumped where the marks are the bumpers is shaped not flat so hard to move them a bit to a flat part of the bumper. If your is flat like the red car then it should be fine just need to make sure it is flat
