Hi all,

many thanks for taking your time to read this message, my first post here. 
 

The speaks for itself really, I was trying to fit the RS honeycomb style grill to my S3 8V yesterday (UK) in which I came across a crash sensor behind the numberplate on the standard grill. 
 

the was a bit of a stumbling block as no video I had watched has shown this sensor. I was wondering if anyone in here has any experience of attaching this sensor to the honeycomb grill, if so, how did you mount it/where? Was it just a case of tie wraps to the back of the grill in a similar location to before?

 

Many thanks and any suggestions greatly appreciated. 

I'm surprised the new grill doesn't have fitment for it. I guess your two options are to attach it either to the bumper reinforcement bar or to to the grill via a cable tie. I appreciate this is more of a short term solution to at least get the car back on the road. 

The question is, did the sensor on the old grill look stock or an aftermarket job. 

On looking online I believe this sensor is for pedestrian safety. But it should still be connected to the airbag modules etc. 

You could always make up a custom bracket for it.
