I've seen sets of parking sensors on eBay for less than £20 which I fancy trying (Im shit at parking).

Has anyone had experience of them?

They will be the gayest of the gay.

Usually the type thay stick to the back bumper and you can see the wires going up the bumper.and into the boot.

Absolutely dreadful.

Surely that's just down to the clown who has fitted them, and not the actual kit itself.

These kits are the ones which need holes drilled in the bumper, have a little control box powered from the reverse light and then a speaker. So if installed well it will look OEM

Practicing parking would be the better option. Who's to say you will have the same car in a week, month or year?

You could've just said juke. Normal jukes have cameras too. But no, had to show off.

Fucking terrible shit that'll break after a week.

If you want them, get a decent set. If you want a decent set, PM me, as I fit them daily.

Surely learning to use your mirrors would be a cheaper option.
