Anyone have the cutter for the factory fitted rear bumper parking sensors that I could Buy, Hire or borrow.
I don't think it makes a difference but the car is a Mk1 ZT saloon
Thanks

There's no cutter, as all four holes are slightly different. They are round with little notches, and the notches are different between holes to ensure the right sensor holder is fitted in the right place.

I did mine with a drill and a file. It's easy because the positions and shape / size of the hole is marked on the inside of the bumper (at least on Mk1 75s it is).

The positions are marked on the inside of ZT bumper as well
The genuine cutter is part number VUN100030
Drill the notch holes and then use the cutter to make the holes
I was trying to avoid using a file and a rotating drill bit but will do if I need to.
I haven't had the bumper painted yet just in case.

Oh, apologies, wasn't aware of the tools.

So, I change my opinion to you don't need the cutter. It is already painted from the factory and the holder hid the slightly un-neat edges. However I understand if you don't want to risk it.
