Valuable upgrade to facelifted 9-5 at roughly half the price of the option if fitted when new and considerably less than bumper or bodywork repairs resulting from any reversing accidents in a car with a rather large (albeit beautiful!) behind. Only quibble is with Saab instructions that are adequate rather than comprehensive and include several errors regarding fitting with/without tow bar, ambiguous digrams and unnecessary instructions regarding raising of car to remove bumper.
Reassuring to see that kit was checked before despatch, since one sensor was missing, but due to prompt action actually arrived from another source before the main consignment was delivered.
All-in-all, a worthwhile upgrade, but leave yourself plenty of time (at least three hours) to fit since it involves removal of rear bumper assembly and boot liner/trim. Top tip: check installation is functioning correctly before tying cable harnesses and re-fitting boot trim, it's a lot of work to have it all out again to check all the terminal-block connections have been made soundly.
[4 of 5 Stars!]
