Aftermarket PDC system for D3
Our D3 doesn't have parking sensors, sooner or later I'm going to back into something. Has anyone fitted or can recommend a PDC system that is easy to fit to the rear ??SOLD - 23my Range Rover Sport D300 Dynamic SE

Hi digitaljunior ,
I have done this to mine recently thanks to ridgeback_moor for advice,
I got the sensors from parkingsensors.co.uk which were £50 and bought the LR bezels from Nick @ Yeovil.
Now the rear bezels are around £15 each so with the advice from ridgeback i bought 4 of the front inner bezels which come already primed at a cost of around £5 each and sprayed them matt black.
Once the rear bumper is removed you can see the cut out marks for the sensors , glued the sensors into the bezels and fitted into the bumper
Top job

I fitted the cheapo 20 quid kits, and have had no problems. They seem to be mud proof as well as water proof Previously:

A friend of mine parks his D3 in a very tight garage. He has a washing up liquid bottle full of water taped to his garage wall. When water squirts in the air over the bonnet - he's in. Genius. You could always just do the opposite and tape a bottle to the front of the car... 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +
