how much do you think it'l cost to c/c the silly sensors at the back? lol
cheers
Not much at all - you can do it yourself just a can of reflex silver will do you fine - a thin coating is all they need

and a little lacquer
Paint code is A7W

surely just spraying over them will make them not work?

As long as it is a thin coat of paint they will work fine

Both VW and my bodyshop have confirmed this on mine

i still might get a bodyshop to do it cuz then if they don't work i can blame them and stuff.. lol
how much paint would be needed to do the following:
reverse sensors.
lower front bumper.
rear front bumper.
side skirts.

Nice 9N mate, Welcome to the forum

.
...would defo look better with the sensors in silver - Bit wierd for VW to leave those black

. My parking sensors are in silver and they look much less protruding - defo worth getting those done
