Can you spec parking sensors to standard back bumper with aero front kit fitted?

Sorry to ask this question again as I've another thread asking if my sensors are working properly but the situation has led to a new question and I'm due to pick my car up tomorrow from the Stealer & I need to know where I stand tres sharpish!!

I ordered everything on my new FL FR inc Tech pack, Convenience Pack, Sat Nav the lot. I was led to believe that I was getting Front & Rear parking sensors then they told me they could only fit them to the standard rear bumper (which I'd kept) but couldnt do them for my front aero bumper which didnt concern me too much as the rear is more handy.
After receiving the car I could tell straight away that they were not working so I handed it back to have them fixed.

Now they've got on the phone to tell me that they cant get them to work as I dont have them on the front as they work off the same controller box? :confused:

Hothatch steve has a FL Cupra with aero kit only on the front & he has working parking sensors which also utilise the on screen sat nav..
Anyone know where I stand when I go to pick the car up or have they made some sort of mistake where I'd be justified asking them to amend it?

thanks in advance for any advice guys. I've spent a lot of money on this car & at the minute can't say I'm over the moon with it but I'm trying to keep the faith..

I only specked mine with rear sensors (no graphical display), I had read about the front sensor problem plus the salesman also told me the front sensors would not work with the front aero bumper.

Basically the aero kit is not part of the factory spec, but an accessories option and you have to rely on the salesman to know the fitting problems.
