Hi All - excuse the (mostly) repost, I used it in my newbie post, too

I joined this forum for advice, I seem to have been the victim of a little vandalism - I have had the front left grill insert and parking sensor stolen from my Mk6 Golf R There isn't any damage to the bumper at all... however, the rearview camera and other (still remaining) sensors don't work, im guessing because there is a short in the system.

All that is left is a hole and three exposed wires (from the sensor)... The smash repairs have quoted me $900+ to fix it (apparently they need to fashion new looms and things)... but I am a little dubious about that. Why would you need to?? its a new(ish) car, surely I could buy a new loom/whatever I need and just plug it/solder it in?

so im after learned advice - what parts do I need to fix it?? My initial searches on eBay and VW parts haven't given me anything definitive - and im not sure if I need a new loom for the sensor?

Ontop of this, how hard is it to do?? I can wire and solder and am mechanically minded - I cant quite see how its a $900 fix job, considering the new parts should just slot in (unless the wiring for the new sensor is actually complex??)... and that is... if I knew what the parts were!

Looking forward to your helpful helpiness!

Thanks
