help for parking distance control retrofit Mini R53

hi, i want to retrofit the pdc for my R53, i've removed the rear bumper (it's original) and the "cross guides" are missing and I cannot drill without them, is there a template di print?

The interior of my rear bumper, it's all like this, no marks, nothing

I've actually never heard of anyone retrofitting PDC. Didn't even know it was a thing, but there's even an official pdf, apparently.

I’ve seen the OEM PDC retrofit which uses sensors in the rear license plate bracket. However not sure how you can mount the OEM sensors into a standard rear bumper.

Cars with factory PDC have a different rear bumper, with the carriers built into the bumper.

What kit are you using?

I want to use the original pdc on bumper, for a sort of real retrofit. I made the conversion from manual ac to auto ac, very simple, this one is much more complicated. I understand that all rear S bumpers do not have the puncture marks (except the S cabrio cabrio). Anyway, I've found an original no S bumper with markings, I will use them as a template
