OK. I'll take some more pics tomorrow after it's washed - been on a run today and it got really dirty.

I'll try and take pics which show how we did the bits your looking for.

No problems at all. Was on a run yesterday and it was fine backing up towards a huge tree and today parking at work the front ones responded just fine.

For now.

Fiona, remember we don't have a small fleet of vehicles.

We don't take Minstral in the MINI. Too hairy!

Why so? Is painting PDC sensors usually a no no? I didn't even ask them to do it, when I picked up the car they just said "We've painted your PDC sensors too, looks much better than having black bits stuck out of your painted bumper."

I never even gave it any thought that it may cause problems.

Fact is,paint on the PDC inner circle can cause it to malfunction!

Estoril Blue is a lovely colour too. It's a bit lighter than Le Man blue, but lovely all the same.
