Just a quick heads up as with the standard GP it has the markings on the back of the bumper for those wanting to install a standard 4 sensor system however i have just fitted one of these

http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk/eps200.asp

£55 posted took about 2 hours to fit

what i will say is the sensor strip is not as heavy duty as the Parking dynamics unit although the rest of the unit is identical (from memory as i had a PD1 on my last car but the price has gone up to £80 near as makes no odds)

and made use of this guide (the fixings are all in the same place)


Drilled a small hole on the left hand side near the air drop holes to get the cable out to the strip but you could run it out the air vent flap with no real issue

No real pics to be had of the system as its all hidden behind the bumper and the little control box is stuck behind the boot carpet in the bottom left corner
only bit you can see is the sounder as i sat that near the parcel shelf

i run the "magic strip" ( think old burglar alarm window foil) it just under the black mouding as the instructions say to run it ideally at 50cm from the ground but that would cause issues due to the evos inserts and a min hight of 40cm the bit just below the number plate thats painted is 45cm from the floor on my evo active so went there and it works fine

((well backed at my mums car from a few different angles and failed to punch a hole in her bumper with my tow bar))
