Accessing Front Parking Sensors

[PhilSkill]

Managed to get a Branch fall in front of us this morning and knock one of the front parking sensors into the bumper. Anyone know what the easiest access method is to get this fitted back in place?

ideally front bumper off its not to bad to be honest both headlamps take out ,,screws around wheel arch then 2 screws at top then 5 clips at top grill area then pull off

Thanks thought it might be, but I managed to access through the wheel arch just unscrewing the 7 Torx holding the arch liner with the wheel off. There is also an access hatch in the undercover, but hard to manoeuvre your hand though there.

in fairness you never mentioned which sensor was it outer 1 by chance then removing wheel arch would do but may struggle

It was the one next to the fog light on driver side, was not too bad to access with 1 arm, but hard to see anything, but I could also still see the front of the bumper to see the sensor was in position while my arm was in the arch holding the sensor in place. Was certainly easier to access this way (for me anyway) than through the access hatch in the under front cover panel (for changing the fog light bulb).
