Anyone have a picture of where the standard reversing sensors are fitted. It would be great to place my colour-coded sensors as close to the standard fitted items.

There is a shot on This page which shows one of them. As standard there were only two, as you will see, just either side of the Index Plate. Personally I would fit four as you need to cover the corners.

Thanks for the info. I'm surprised there was only two sensors on such a wide car. I got a nice set of colour-coded sensors that fit flush on the bumpers, there are four of them and I'll fit them all. Bought a load of sets of these sensors for Engineering students to do electrical 'projects' with. There will be a few staff cars getting reversing sensors!! I'll put pics up once there done.

On my wife's Mondeo there is a plastic insert trim in the rear bumper. If you unclip that you will find holes in the foam behind where the sensors are designed to be fitted. There is even a grommet leading into the boot on the rear n/side to pick up the power and earth!. Hers look 'factory fitted' and cost me less than £20.
This page may be useful. I have bought from him and being local have simply gone and picked stuff up.

I am also about to fit a set of 4 sensors to a facelift, so any help/pics would be great.
