Parking sensors
I want to get parking sensors fitted to my Forester when I get one and would prefer a Subaru system over aftermarket. - I'm sure aftermarket are good and cheaper but I think the paperwork looks better when it's a subaru item.
If I was to buy this kit does anyone know where I could get the sensors in the correct blue rather than have these painted?
Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll own a blue forester Sti 😎

This Subaru system, produced for Subaru Europe ,is just the WAECO MagicWatch MWE850 kit with instructions and additional wiring to fit specific Subarus MY03-09
So very old stock.
Kit manufactured by WAECO International GmbH Germany and now out of production.
WAECO seems to be concentrating on Refrigeration and A/C equipment now a days.
The sensors only ever came in black plastic.
This copy of the advert seems more appropriate

You may want to read the instructions first before buying

Thank you both for your input, I'm always greatful for help, pointers and opinions.
I've read that there is a subaru parking system that doesn't involve drilling the bumper, any ideas?
Would subaru sell them in the bkue I need or will I have to bite the bullet and just get a camera 😭

The very early system which I fitted to my then new MY03 Forester involved sticking a foil element to the inside of the rear bumper skin from one side to the other.
Part number WAS H481ESA000 cost at the time £153 inc vat and was basically a Taurus T123P parking sensor unit.
All it gives is a variable beeping sound from a small speaker mounted near the rear side window.
Basically the same as this

If you checkout aliexpress there seems to be a selection of items in the Hoklan store at the bottom of the page.
Make sure you select UK for delivery info
But if you want the "real deal" and pay a little more.....................
