Rear Bumper PDC holes question

Chard · 03-26-2012, 08:46 PM

I haven't taken apart my rear bumper to see, but for those of you who have seen the inside of a rear bumper with PDC, are there brackets in there that hold the sensors, or does the bumper skin just have holes?

The reason I ask is because I wonder if I can buy a non-PDC rear bumper and drill holes to accept the PDC sensors.

Thanks

the bumper has plastic clips that hold in the sensor, ill try and find a picture for you but your much better of trying to get the right bumper

Thanks for the pic! Bummer, I thought it was just holes. I guess I just have to pony up and pay for a new bumper from Tischer then.

i dont remember where but i saw the mounts that go on the rear of the bumper for the sensors to fit in, ill try and find them for you

that would be a big help. if it's a separate part, it would be possible to drill holes in a non-pdc rear so they accept the sensors and brackets.

Jason: what would shipping be on a m-tech rear bumper to 96822?
