Have you checked out the prices on the Seat accessories site?

click here

If you drive an FR then you'd want this one.

I'd try calling a few dealers quoting part number and prices from those links and see what they'll do.

when i called around, my local dealers were quoting about £300 to get these colour coded and fitted..

these prices exclude fitting and are just for the parts.
so at £300 they are charging about £170 for fitting, which is not that bad for a dealer!

There's a thread on here somewhere about some that fit around the number plate area, so no drilling required. Costs about £60 from ebay if memory serves. Easy Fit too!

Great so the dealer can get the parts for less than ton as that pice is quoted RRP

so im paying £250 labour for probally 1 hours work.
Im in the wrong Job!!!

Are they colour coded though.

suddenly i dont think thats worth it at all was hoping nearer to £250 i think others have had them fitted for around that

the sensors dont come colour coded, so guess what theres extra for that!

the price seems to depend on each dealer though, some much cheaper than others. and also ask them where they are thinking of mounting the sensors as there are differences there also you might have read. depends on whether you have a preference where you want them really..

Are bumpers specifically designed for parking sensors these days? Are they reinforced where the holes can be drilled?
I was just wondering, because you wouldn't start drilling holes in the a-pillar would you?

Rear bumpers are pretty much cosmetic, just a very thin skin... (unlike the A-Pillars )

rear bumpers are packed with foam, the impact areas anyway. it depends where you want to mount them, and what model leon you have.

im sure there was a thread on here where someone fitted parking sensors which didnt require drilling holes in the bumper. - It was a length of wire that fitted inside the bumper rather than individual sensors that requires drilling.

EDIT:

search for "Taurus T123P Parking Sensor" on google or here.

this fits to inside of bumper so is not visable. it works slightly differerently as it works when moving only. ie it stops beeping if you aint moving.

I do like the idea of that but you can not use them in rain or heavy wind

I'm considering buying an FR and the dealer offered me dealer fit ones for £250 if purchased at the same time as the car. Outer two colour coded and the inner two on the black part of the FR bumper left black.
