Front parking sensors on Mk 4 2023 MX-5

[CXZ4]

I recently bought a 2023 Mk 4 soft top MX-5 & paid or front parking sensors to be retro-fitted.

The garage have no told me that there is sonething in the way behind the bumper & it would require drilling the bumper which will invalidate the warranty - does any one know if this is correct please?

Probably not advisable to have a garage fit front parking sensors to a car that has a pedestrian safety system installed, not unless its a Mazda garage who know what they are doing and the system in-place.

Seems like you’ve changed your tune from last year.

First Service at Main Dealer

Yes, that’s a good point. It just probably saves a headache and a fight. Personally I don’t mind dealerships if you get one who know what you’re like (if you’re the ‘fussy’ kind). I go to Mazda (Newport) as they’ve been great with me, in the twice I’ve been there thus far. I ask for a particular technician, and the service manager I’ve spoken to loads and ‘followed him’ when he moved dealerships, is very adaptable and flexible. They know I’m all over my car. Don’t want it washed, talk to the t…

And just a few weeks ago you seemed happy to be around a Mazda dealer…

What have you Photographed lately?

In Cardiff Mazda earlier. Looks great in DC Blue [image]

Or are you just trolling?

Let’s keep this on topic please.

I have a 2024 Homura RF. I was rather disappointed that it was only fitted with rear parking sensors as standard. Unless Mazda offer an official bespoke plug and play kit, I wouldn’t even consider having an aftermarket system fitted

Changed tune? None of the persons in your post archeologist find are there anymore. One totally jacked in the profession in fact
I was ‘happy to be around a Mazda dealer’ a few weeks ago as I was passing with the dog (it’s along the road to the train station), and saw a Deep Crystal Blue one in the showroom, which I’d never seen in Houma trim in ‘real life’, and thought I’d take a look. If that’s okay that is. I did tell my mum first

Someone else made a similar remark, but you didn’t quote them or ask if they’re trolling.

I agree ref on topic, but Club Members and non members surely must be regarded with equal respect.
