    R - Busted Front Bar Lower Grill

    Driving home last night massive feral cat ran out infront of the car. Tried to brake but it bounced off the front of the car.

    When I got home noticed the lower front bar including one of the front parking sensors were smashed

    Will I need a whole new front bar or are I able to get a replacement lower section with bracket for the parking sensor. Parking sensor still works but bracket is broken.

    Yep, that the part. Is the parking sensors apart of this piece?

    Is it just a clip off / on piece?

    There are 2 parking sensors mounted in this central lower grill section, and i think you would need to buy a new parking sensor as the grill doesn't look like it comes with them. (if you email ECS Tuning they will be able to confirm if the sensors are included or not - but id say they aren't as there is no mention of them on their website).

    Also bear in mind that you will need to remove your front bumper bar in order to replace this grille (and its a fun job removing the front bumper believe me) as it clips out from the back.

    can you re attach the sensor to the new bar with some decent glue or is it totally smashed ?? I've never priced one but I imagine its not cheap
