I ordered a replacement rear bumper and although I am positive I ordered the correct part and also supplied my VIN number, I can't help wonder if the holes to accommodate the PDC sensors are pre-drilled from the factory or would I have to pay the bodyshop to cut 4 holes for me? The online catalogs are very vague about this important detail.. I really hope I don't have to, for more so, accuracy sake..

I had ordered a bumper - it went from dealer to body shop - so I never saw it -but think they said holes were not pre cut because it's an option - I do think there are molded guide points on the inner bumper

I meant to imply pdc is an option so holes aren't cut out

Rear bumper never comes pre-drilled, only the front bumper does. The bumper is marked on the inside for the PDC hole locations so it's pretty hard to screw up.

Thank you very much for your reply, I received the bumper today and there where no holes for the PDC sensors and I was freaking out for a sec, calculating return shipping cost in my head, when I saw your post. I guess now I have to inform the bodyshop of the PDC openings because I was planning to just have them paint it and install myself...

Yeah pretty much every option your car is prepped for already. Similarly if you get base sound in a 3 with no rear tweeters the back of the door panel has marks, hole sizes everything stamped in the back. They make this stuff pretty idiot proof.
