I was washing my 6 month old F Type today and noticed one on the from parking sensors missing, does anyone know if this would be covered under the warranty ?
Thanks

Most certainly not!

It has most probably been stolen, even in the unlikely event it became unclipped and popped out the connector and cable would have held it secure.

If the cable and connector are in place or if the cable has been cut it has probably been nicked.

I suspect it has been pushed back and just dropped inside the bumper and is hanging on the loom

They just clip in, so easy to fall out of the locating tube if not fully clicked in place

Thanks very much for your responses, I hope it has just fell back in to the bumper. It is the one in the little grill on the side of the bumper, any ideas how to remove it to see if I can fix it myself ?

Well I’m not going to give you a video guide, but I’d remove enough fixings to flex the top of the bumper forward and reach in. That would be across the leading top edge. Bumper to wing and wheel arch.
That should do, but exact location is different on each bumper cover design
