Ok thanks for everyone's help!

Managed to get (most) of the sensors in!

I bought the Steel-mate ones and have to say was very happy with the feel and quality of the unit and sensors, speaker looked pretty good too! Only problem I find with the Steel-mate's are that the speaker is a little shrill.

Only problem was that one of the sensors was faulty so despite taking all day to do the thing I still haven't finished as I am waiting for a replacement sensor before fitting the bumper properly back on.

Thanks for your help. I only broke 2 of those bloody clips!

Question 2 Quick question with rear wheel arch - parking sensors

I am going to fit my PARKING SENSORS tomorrow, everywhere is says partially remove the Right Hand side wheel arch, surely I will have to release the left as well, won't I?

To remove the bumper stand at the rear of the car push the bumper forward and at the same time outwards, is that correct?

I see these as the two most difficult to fully understand, so any help will be appreciated, thanks

Paul

Yes you will, just do the same as you would on both sides

Paul
The clips that hold the bumper in on the sides are clipped in by pushing the bumper towards the centre of the car. So to remove it you have to pull away from the car. (Away as in outward to the side not backward towards the rear of the car) You push towards the front of the car to help loosen the clips. If you work from the bottom you should be able to take the first one out and get a better view of the rest.

I do have a pic of the bumper off which I can upload for you later tonight if you want.

bit late I know but here is a picture of the back off the civic with the bumper off.

Click the image to open in full size.

The 3 red marks point to the clips that hold the bumper in place. I should have take a pic of the removed bumper but you should be able to see a number of clips that hold the bumper in place. The idea behind pushing the bumper forward is so that the bumper "un hooks" from these clips before you pull the bumper off.

Hope that's a little clearer.

Sorry just seen this post, just to let you know the speaker fits very nicely by the drivers side foot well (Behind the carpet on the side of the wheel!), the wire is just long enough to slide under the trim from the rear to the front just along where the door sills sit.
It sounds enough for you to hear it plus it can not be seen.
