    Does anyone (Dublin based) fit flush front sensors that look roughly OEM, not a fan of the ones that sit proud. Going onto a 2016 Superb.

    Cheers.

    I know it's not the cheapest kit and there's fitting on top again but this might be worth a look given how new the car is.

    Crazy that the Superb doesn't have them as standard on the front.

    I've never had front sensors ,
    are they on all the time?
    Do they go off in traffic etc ?

    Saw that one alright, the most original solution and the only option that will work with the screen, probably €550 plus after fitting, then I need to get it coded, wonder what Skoda will charge for that? Been quoted around the same for flush, painted sensors but just audible, no visual display.

    Also wonder what any of this will do to the warranty?

    The fronts are generally activated when you engage reverse, or when you press the button if you are parking without engaging reverse.

    So no, they wont go off in traffic.

    Most likely will not impact anything much unless someone does a proper hatchet job on the install. A VAG specialist should be able to install them for you, most likely would no cause any suspicions if you had to make a claim.

    I did spot these too but they don't have as good a reputation and I don't know if they are OEM.
