ColinT Donating Members 372 Member For: 20y 3m 14d Posted 29/05/06 06:02 AM Share Posted 29/05/06 06:02 AM Removed the rear bumber to fit the reverser parking sensor kit I bought from ebay ($30). This is the kist where the detector sticks behind the plastic of the bumber. NO holes to drill. Will post some pics later.TO my horror I found more rust along the bumper channel. Every dip along the top edge and at the ends of the channel und underneath. Its an area you can't see unless the bumper is off.Contacted the local dealer (1klm away) and suggested they come take some pics to send away with the claim for repair. The dealer was happy for me to take the pics for him. So I took the pics and re assembled the bumper. The pics will go to the dealer on Thurdays when I'm off.

Expensive Daewoo would take the cake for factory fitted rust.
