Hey guys, so I got all the pieces for a M sport conversion and brought it to the body shop today to get painted. I then realized I was given a bumper with PDC and I Don't have it on the front for my car. Just wondering what options I have?
I know I can buy some sensors off ebay and just use it as a plug. Or are there
other options that you guys may know of? Any input would be great! Thanks!

You can purchase 4 sensors off eBay for less than $25 USD which is cheapest route that cosmetically looks good.

But as you are painting, just have holes filled and sanded prior to painting.

Thanks man. I looked into buying some sensors option as well. Ended up contacting the place I bought the bumper and they said it should have came with plugs. Luckily they had a few extra. Just picked that up. Saves me the headache. Really didn't want to go the filler route either.

Plugs look like shit, IMO

I'd do anything before that. Especially with sensor for $25 on eBay.

I agree the plugs look off, both of his suggestions look better

damn, The plugs would look like shit even painted? I guess Ill have to wait and see. If its bad, Ill, probably will end up having to get a few sensors . The color matched ones that come from China will be good enough right? For sure not going to pay OEM price for the sensors that are not even going to be hooked up lol

Plugs are a throwback look to the 1960 - 1980 bumpers with big steel bolts with rounded heads like the plugs to attach the bumper to the frame.

Do you want a 20th Century look or a 21st Century sleek look?

Which White?

The bumper you posted you purchased says NO PDC.

Why do you have PDC holes?

I mean if you're already having the bumper painted, have the shop fill the holes and paint the bumper it won't be that much more

It was my mistake for not double checking the bumper. Then it was stored until after winter.
Secondly, with these aftermarket bumpers there could be a chance the bumper is just universal. Made for both PDC and non PDC. So if you have PDC great if not here are a few plugs.....??

Yeah, I will give them a call today and see if they can just fill it.

It should be the other way around. If you don’t have pdc, great, if you do, drill some holes. Makes much more sense...

On topic: let the bodyshop fill them up.
