How to make old PDC sensors fit OEM E63 AMG front bumper?
The sensors that fit a GENUINE E63 AMG FRONT bumper are apparently different to stock E55 ones and don't fit the sensor holders. What options does one have in this case?
1. Are the new sensors compatible with the old PDC harness?
2. Is there a way to modify the old sensors to fit the new bumper?
Any help would be appreciated

I just did this last weekend on a Suvneer bumper - I'll post some pics in that thread.
SLK Parktronic bracket is part 1718850014 - you need 6
Also get 6 spacer rings 2215420051

The rubber spacer rings only fit if you drill the sensor out to be larger, so do that before getting the bumper painted. I discovered this after painting so I left them off.

I wonder, isn't this the obvious thing to try. Why did some use SLK brackets and what not when they could use their existing mounts.....
