Parking Sensors & Good Respray in Dublin?

Any Alfa owners out there who have retrofitted parking sensors and any recommendations?
I am looking to fit these before getting bumpers resprayed, ideally front and back.

As an aside I have a bugandy/metallic red 166 (1999) but I don't know the official colour , it's not the Alfa Red. Anyone out their know the official name of the colour?

Any Irish Alfa owners used a good respray shop that they would recommend in Dublin?

Thanks

Hi. Not sure if this is any use to you or not but as far as i know the exact colour should be represented by a number on the vin plate. Not sure where the vin plate is on the 166 but ill have a look at my own and get back to you. Hope this is of help.

Proteo red its called! Dont buy cheap parking sensors they will do your head in! Im after a set myself, parking is a nightmare

I have been told that there is a good ICE place in Rathmines (for parking sensors) - never used them though. The sensors will mess up the look of the bumper.

I think the 166 electrics may not like parking sensors - at least I think I read something like this. However, I do believe that they were an option on some 166s so it must be possible!

Hi Redalf

Colour code/name plate can be found in the boot (left hand side, under parcel shelf).

..or for a fiver you could try a pair of small dome mirrors; fit one on the lower outside corner of each door mirror and you should be able to see the kerb/white lines and your back tyre while reversing. work well for the blind spots too, though beads of rain water on a wet night can ruin the buzz...
