My car is in storage but when I fitted my new rear diffuser on my 09 Vantage I had to move mine and if the DB9 is like the Vantage they are 2 parts, the middle sensor which has to come out first and then the ring that hold the sensor in place. They are a pain as it is hard to hold the 2 or 3 little tab at the same time... Good luck

Yes you have to remove the sensors first as the holding sleeve has 3 tab that have to be push in where the sensor is to be able to remove them... If I recall, there is like 2 or 3 little tab that needs to be lifted so that the sensor can be pushed in... it will come out from behind the bumper and then those 3 little plastic tab that you push in where the sensor was and push the holding sleeve out towards the outside of the bumper. Hope this help
