The only trouble with buying a new car from what's in stock, rather than wait 12 weeks for a specific order, is that you take what extras they've got. Mine came with a Bluetooth dashboard, which works just fine and dandy.
However, I would like to fit rear parking sensors, and I see that there's even a version that doesn't involve taking a drill to the back bumper, by using a sticky metal tape inside the plastic.
However, whichever type is chosen, with or without holes, the León presents you with two other problems.
a) Is there a way to get access to the inside of the very rearmost part of the bumper? A general feel around isn't filling me with hope.
b) Likewise, despite being 'easily wired' to the reversing light supply, the light is in the tailgate. Any suggestions for tapping into the +itive wire and routing it to the boot area? I'm assuming that any old earth will do, in the boot for instance.
I had thought of fitting it all in the bottom lip of the tailgate, but this would only work if it wasn't all metal already. Ironically, it would have been OK on the C4 coupé I just got rid of with its plastic tailgate.
