Morning all, I have the parking sensor light issue and tracking it down, it appears to be a front right one that is at fault. I've had a look back at threads but they all seem to relate to a pre 2013 model, my car is a 2013 facelift Sport Cabrio so a different bumper. Can anyone help re can this be done without taking off the front bumper on this model and where I can find a replacement for the sensor (decent quality)
Parking sensor help .. again :)

Fronts aren't identical sensors as the rears (they work at different distances) but all fronts (part number 217832) or all rears (part number 214561) are the same, year doesn't matter. You can check this with the fitment guides on Scuderia or Eurospares etc.
It can be done without removing the bumper, I did this same one on mine by taking the wheel off, arch liner & liner support bracket out then I could reach it. I think it can also be done by taking the undertray off and going in from underneath but I haven't done it that way.
If you do an internet search on those numbers you'll find no end. I went for Blic ones, think they were around £20 delivered. Meat & Doria are an aftermarket brand I have used for other parts with no problems, think NTY are ok too. All listed on places like Autodoc or ebay.

Thank you so much, apologies for not replying sooner but was out of the country last week
