Yes, I have 3 weeks ago the grille ordered and this should arrive early next week. Then I have to make my mind how I let the part mount ...

 

Haha I look forward to seeing your results. Please post a write up of the install when you're done!

 

A number of us have the P7 grille and surround sitting in the corner, ready to go in, as soon as we come up with an elegant solution for mounting the 2 front parking sensors that fit in the crossbar. Just gluing the sensors to the P7 honeycomb just doesn't seem like the right solution for a car of this stature.

 

Sounds like you need someone with a 3D printer and some design skills.

 

if you end up not using it, i'll buy it. luckily, i don't have the problem to worry about

 

Volunteers are welcome!


Sounds like another product for the Unhingd Performance Division. Spend a year and a half on R&D to sell all of a dozen units. Just my kinda project.

 

lol

Do ALL models use the same sensors?

 

The grill and the surround arrived today with the post office. The processing is mediocre, but if the part is installed, this is no longer relevant. I will leave the surround still foliate. Does anyone have a photo of the original park sensors and the dimensions of the diameter? I now have to ask a friend who has pure 3D printer whether he could make these two parts to me.

 

I have two new sensors at home, ready to be installed as soon as someone can come up with a mounting solution. I will get the full dimensions to you later today.

Pick your price point.

 

Is that the same sensor? This would be faster to order for germans.

Yes. You will also want a couple of sensor retaining rings: C2Z11732

Now assume the two park sensors with the holder rings have
arrived. Then I leave the insert with the 3 D printer
finished with the appropriate hole for the rings of the
Parkensors. After that I leave the original park sensors.
After installation on the grill, I plug the cable to the
new parking sensors. Is there still something to be encoded
here or only the distance calibrated again?

 

Please excuse the crappy penmanship. It's tough doing it right with a broken finger.

 

What color, varnish did you use to paint the cooler?

How did you move the cables of the sensor so that you
can not see them from the outside?

 

I haven't started this project yet. I think someone further back in the thread describes the routing of the wires.

 

When I did mine, after removing styrofoam from bar behind grille, the bar was the only thing I had painted in flat black.

2 Instead of mounting sensors with connectors pointing inward, as they do on the original bumper bar, he pointed them outward in order to avoid having wiring exposed behind grille. He glued wires from sensors directly around trapezoids so they can not be seen, and they exit to the side of grille.

3 He then mounted wiring harness to run below grille, (there is a lip below the grille that he fit it into)and then extended sensor wires to go below and around surround. Since sensor wires are not color coded, he colored them with different colored nail polish before he cut them. I thought the sensor wires looked to be about 24 gauge but couldn't find it locally and didn't have time to order it online so I found a couple old power supplys from a radio and an old router which I think is 24 gauge and he cut it up and spliced them in. They work!

Hope this helps.

 

I just realized that the base model doesn't have the parking sensors in the grill. Looks like it's time to order!

 

Wow hard to not comment on that photo

I have now decided not to mount the grille of Paramount performance.
The quality of the grill is very bad and it was also very badly
processed. I recommend everyone to buy only the original parts of the P7.
Unfortunately you can not order these at the moment. I also do
not like the glue solution, so I stay with the original grille.
Too bad, but I mount no inferior part at a 130,000 € car.

 

I will return the parts Paramount Performance and reverse the purchase.
I hope to find a satisfactory solution in the near future,
which I will then choose.
