Yes. They are mounted in the impact strip which is separate. You then need all the rest of the Parktronic gubbins.



or you can buy something like this that requires no holes.

Nothing MB related (sorry)
You still need to add the wiring and the rear display to the C32.

OK - so your car already has Parktronic installed so you are just swapping out the rear plastic. Then all is easy. If you don't have Parktronic installed then it's a big job especially if your car does not have the Parktronic wiring harness. Then you have front & rear displays & all to fit plus the module.

You don't have to install front and rear. There is an option to install just the rear, which is much easier. It is known as the "Rear PTS retrofit kit" or something like that. That's that I installed. I'm sure that BisSis can supply you with the right parts.

My car has full factory Parktronic. Enfeldt's car has full Partronic. He is just fitting an AMG bumper skin & requires to swap the rear center impact strip. You are not understanding the question.

I think I understood the question just right since I installed the rear parktornic myself and know exactly how it is done. My comment was related more to what WaveyKat said about wanting this mod and you later on stating that "Then you have front & rear displays & all to fit plus the module".
I know that you are a major contributor to the board and I value your opinion. So, don't take offence to what I said but the reference to the "front and rear display" does not apply to WaveyKat or Enfeldt. And if you see things differently, so be it. At the end of the day, I'm like you, just trying to provide accurate and relevant information to the rest of the forum members.

Oooh - girlfight!!

You're obviously both right on your original comments, since they are not related, just getting crossed up on who is answering whose question downstream.

Play nice!

Lenin - what don't you have installed on your car?

Hi Tommy,
I'm the original owner and since April 2002 have accumulated all kinds of mods. Mechanically I'm basically done for now. The car did 12.52 1/4 mile this past November at Atco.So, I'm just getting the latest LET tune next week. And maybe clear Bi-Xenon lights (that should make Arno happy). Also LET is working on a secret top mounted intercooler that I may be interested in.

Not arguing - I think wavey wants the proxel.

There's no US distributor, but that does look like a cool product. Unfortunately, I would hazard a guess that a lot of people wouldn't want it, because other people can't see that you have it. Parktronic bumps = street cred (at least to some people).
