Reverse parking sensors

I have been driving my GP Sporting JTD for nearly two years now and still feel uneasy when reversing, I always have the nagging feeling I'm gonna bump the car behind! I spoke with Sextons about reverse parking sensors, they quoted something in the region of £250 fitted, the price is for four sensors painted in the bumper's colour though. Any suggestions please? Note the quotation was from Sextons in Swansea.

I think that if you pay 250 quid for four sensors then your going to be sexxed up the arse by sextons of swansea.

In the end I got a good deal at Halfords, £200. I am very pleased with the result, the sensors are colour coded and there is a nice little screen visible from the rear view mirror that shows how far away I am from the car behind. I did not expect Halfords to deliver but they did, fair play to them.

Most dealers charge £149.99

or fit them yourself;

My dealer said he could not offer colour coded sensors and that the end result would not look right... Seems he wasn't that bothered after all! Nevermind, I spent a lot more than I should but hey, too late now! At least I am happy with the end result and, have to say this, Halfords exceeded my expecations, very rare these days this!

sounds like crap too me...why on earth garages turning down work in thesedays is beyond me.

sorry add £25 to paint/match sensors to my above price.

lol i fitted my own, bought black ones, sprayed them with hammerite smooth red and they match the exotica red perfectly.

I wouldn't worry too much about cost, just think if they've saved you atleast once from reversing into something they've paid for themselves already.

i would like to fit some to my GP but i have a towbar which knowing my luck would upset the sensors

I paid £150 for my parking sensors from Fiat they were ment to be £300 but the dealer paid for half. Although they did nothing for me i still managed to reverse into a post!

I've got a doblo. I paid £50 for a wireless camera.
I can see the whole rear end - including towball & can park within a millimeter of whatever's behind.
I've never liked the sensors because you're reversing blind, they don't work below 30cm - and that's a huge gap and are easily confused.
