Hello,

I am looking at upgrading both my front and rear garnishes from my pre-facelift Type R to the facelift ones. From doing a bit of research I understand that the front fascias are a straight swap whereas the rear ones require a bit of bumper cutting but after that they also slot straight in.

I'm wondering however whether this is still true if you have the parking sensors. I have a UK spec Type R and Honda sensing comes at standard on all Type Rs here and I'd rather not lose that functionality. I haven't seen any mention as to the compatibility of the parking sensors from the pre-facelift garnishes onto the facelift garnishes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

I'm of the understanding the front right facia houses the Radar and the left side the horn. The front parking sensors I think are in the same location on the facelift as the pre facelift. So I don't think you will lose functionality unless someone else knows better. Should be a straight swap over

Okay thank you, I did hear someone say that the old sensors didn't fit or something but then again you hear a lot of stuff online. I'm interested to know if anyone with Honda sensing has done this mod and kept the sensor functionality.

Ok. i just assumed the sensors would fit but maybe that's risky way to go about it. Hopefully someone could give more of a definitive answer in that case.
