Front parking sensors

Wondering if anyone has any info on the retrofit of front parking sensors to a 6R, mine's a 1.4 match with rear parking sensors from factory and headlight washers (if that matters) and was considering getting front ones along with a new front bumper.

there is no 6R bumper with front PDC holes so you'll have to drill some holes yourself.

You would be cheaper hanging around waiting for a bumper of a rear ended SEL or so. Costs can get a bit out of hand when retro fitting front parking and OPS, it cost me the best part of £350 to retro fit, as close to factory as possible, front sensors and OPS to my 2011 Audi S4 - that was with me buying new VW Group sensors, used front buzzer, used 8 channel controller and new cabling from Kufatec.
I also bought a kit of tools for cleanly punching holes in the bumper, most if not all VW Group cars bumpers will have a X moulded into the inner surface - so that you can "place" the centre of the holes accurately.
Edit:- I see that Kufatec do not offer a kit to upgrade a rear only system to a front and rear system, which seems strange?
