One down side to the kit is that it only comes in black, but for the cost.. who cares. I do understand why though, with the increasing colours being available to paint your vans.
Best part is the kit can be fitted to a most if not all vehicles.
Comment below on your thoughts and I will respond asap. Check out my Instagram page @tom_tdubz for more uploads and pictures of my progress. Thanks for watching and remember to take care when working on your own vehicle. Tdubz

Thanks for watching, glad it helped 👍🏻
Well I did mine today, luckily on the T5.1 bumper there's location markers on the inside for where the sensors need to be fitted. My bumper definitely didn't come off as easy as the one in the video, it was a right pain to remove with clips everywhere.
Think this wasn’t a genuine bumper as didn’t have any markings… they are a pain, the 2013 onwards are even worse
Also you can go to halfords with the vehicle reg and they will make the exact colour code for vehicle £15.. i use Jawel paints and paint the sensors at home.
i've recently found that rainbow paints does a really good colour match..
@@tomtdubz They do yes
Hello! Can you describe how you prepped and painted the sensors before fitting them - I've got my sensors and just waiting for my spray paint to arrive before fitting mine to the bumper. Cheers
Sure,
cleaned with alcohol wipes..
Sprayed with plastic primer,
Let dry and spray again with primer
Apply thin dusting of tip coat-white or the colour of your van,
Then again after 10 mins
And again after 10 mins
Then gloss to finish, couple of coats 👌🏻
Comment if you've visited shore vans and made use of the discount code....... tdubz10 🤘🏻
I've got mine to fit this weekend, I hope the cable colours are the same on all T5.1's...
Where can I get the gromits you used to fix those bumper flaps back in place at 22:53 in your video? My flaps either side are just flopping around underneath... cheers
They are just the interior clips.. have you got some?
Trim panel clips 👌🏻
@@tomtdubz I ordered a handful yesterday. No idea if they are the correct diameter yet. If all else fails I will purchase the identical ones you used.
Mine were the light grey original interior trim clips/bits 👌🏻
@@tomtdubz Spot on, I took a stab in the dark and ordered a set of grey trim clips and they worked a treat! Even managed to fit the middle clip in under the spare wheel clamp using the handle of a hammer and wheel nut wrench to shimmy it in.
FYI for anyone with a T5 with tailgate rather than barn door - there's an additional (super sneaky) screw holding the bumper in BEHIND THE MUD GUARD... Use the same bit as the other ones through the mudguard, but you'll need to push the mudguard forwards to access the screw behind it. Took me an hour or so of swearing before I spotted it haha
Turtle Bay Diving oh no fella, all sorted now?
T Dubz yeah man!! It’s not your fault at all - just a heads up for other peeps if they have the tailgate version :)!
Turtle Bay Diving good work! Thanks I’m sure others will have an issue too 👌🏻👊🏻
I have two green and black cables. 😬 any suggestions welcome. Thanks
Ermmmmm no I only had one, 🙈 sorry fella can’t help ☹️
@@tomtdubz use a multimeter, bare cable back, and test in reverse as and when the cable is live!! if its only got 12v on it when vsn is in reverse then you know that's the reverse light feed you need.
Can I just ask, what wheels and size are you running on the van?
19” bmw twist wheels then went to 20” calibre ccu’s
What size hole is the cutter?
20mm 👌🏻👊🏻
I bought a set of these not the ones you fitted I got mine off eBay total waste of time think they were from China so in the end I bought a dash cam with reversing camera from amazon
So far these are decent! 👍
Which one did you get? Cam?

Easy to fit up hard wired into the fuse box or you can plug it into the cigarette light thing
Just done a friends. Thing is, looking at your video I don't think you have the proper metal bumper that should sit inside the plastic one? If someone else watching this does then you need to place the sensors so that the back of the sensors will go into the pre drilled holes in the metal bumper.
Thanks for the information. This will help others if that is the case for them on their bumpers.
I have a 2004 T5 and can confirm I had to drill at 500mm centres about the middle of the bumper (250 to the left, 250 to the right) then make sure the outer two cleared the metalwork completely. The metal part looks different to the one in the video.
Never cut the reverse signal and ground wire burn off the installation and wrap the wire around it.
car audio solutionz good shout, I’ve been working on soldering for the next set of wiring 👌🏻👊🏻
@@tomtdubz Don't use solder as on some vehicles it will put bulb error lights on the dash due to resistance.
I've fitted sensors in 100s of vehicles and my method always works I've never had anyone come back.
car audio solutionz thank you! Your method it is👌🏻
@@tomtdubz Thanks..
car audio solutionz no thank you fella, all about learning 👌🏻👊🏻
I am 500
Booooooom congrats pal, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻thank you, do you have instagram?
@@tomtdubz thanks mate, congrats for getting 500! Yeah my Instagram is tobysimmons2
Lol.. if you had turned the bumper over there's factory locations.
Also use a bumper stand you wrecked the edges of the bumper.
car audio solutionz yep lol I did see that once I’d looked lol, strangely enough the two middle were spot on 😎 did realise the damage to the paint that could be cause too, we’re all learning 👌🏻👊🏻
@@tomtdubz Haha you did a pretty good job for the 1st timer I've fitted parking sensors to loads of T5 T6s.
car audio solutionz why thank you 👌🏻👊🏻
Did all that. It don't work
What year is your van?
@@tomtdubz Hi, 2005 with a tailgate. I wired it all up and 'piggybacked' into the reversing light and the earth (all the lights work) but no sound from the bleeper. Maybe the box is faulty.
@@thurstonhowell3569 maybe, if you have power, correct earth, and contact with the reversing wire should be all good…
@@tomtdubz Turns out is was the connectors I was using. The supplier of the sensors said to wrap the power wire from the control box directly around the existing power wire from the VW. Low voltage so I guess it'd be ok.
If it works… happy days 👌🏻
