I recently purchased a 19 plate Fiesta ST-Line. It doesn't have parking sensors or reversing camera. Is it possible to get these added and how much would it cost?



Yes, but Ford won't do it, nor a regular indy garage.  You can either do it yourself or pay a modification company to do it.

Not sure on costs, rough estimate around £200 for the parts, then about the same again in labour if paying someone.

Ever the optimist Tom 🤣

The Ford camera is about £150 and the Ford sensors plus hardware is about another £400. There is a company in Edinburgh that do this and charge £1500, I'm sure there will be someone closer to the OP's location

Wow, I should really stop giving rough estimates on here! :laugh: 

I've seen used cameras inc loom for under £100 on ebay.  Thought that'd be the most expensive part!  Parking sensors used to cheap, at least aftermarket ones. :unsure:

Aftermarket fitment always seemed to work out more expensive than the factory option,  but even more so these days it appears - presumably due to the difficulty of integrating with the higher level of technology.

I think the last time I had rear sensors (no camera) as a dealer fit it was under £200 and when I got my previous Mk 8 the combined factory fit option (rear sensors and camera) was only £250.

Even on the last Fiesta lists the Parking Pack option (where not fitted as standard) including F & R sensors, camera and park assist was only around £3-400 depending on model.

Thanks for the reply's guys. I think I will give it a miss, never had a car with this tech so I don't really miss not having it.
