? for Clubman Owners with PDC

Where are the sensors? I haven't been able to find any good pics of the bumper of a PDC clubman. Are they drilled into the bumper? Info and pics would be appreciated .

Here you go. I have them and love them, especially since I tend to find a lot of tight parking spots. Additionally, I've got two little ones and the dark tint and barn doors don't do much for visibility.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I am definitely going to add PDC but it looks like I will have to go aftermarket since as far as I can tell there is no oem retrofit available. But if you don't mind me pointing it out,you still didn't answer my question

I definitely can't see from the attached photo, but are the sensors in your bumper cover? I read in a different thread that in the Gen 2 MC they are in a valance rather than the bumper but I need to know where they are in the Clubman.

Thanks, Kevin

Wait, as I look closer at your pic I think I see them in the black plastic trim piece. Very nice, I can drill in that no problem and just replace it later if need be.

Thanks my friend

Here is a picture of my friend's Mini with PDC. There are four sensors--two next to the license plate holder and one next to each exhaust outlet area.

Thanks guys, this looks very doable. I just wish there was a oem retrofit. I have Nav and am sure the wiring is there but from the threads I've seen it doesn't seem anyone has done it and the dealer party line is it can't be retrofitted. What makes it even odder is that there is a retrofit kit listed on realoem
