    did you spray them to match the bumper?

    No, I ordered them in black. They come in a few different colours.

    Can you upload a recording of the beeping? And is it quick to start beeping when you go into reverse?

    Would the gong not be better the back shelf? Thought it would be kind of hard to hear in the boot.

    @Jercotter: The beeper is loud enough so it was fine to use in the boot. In fact, I had to stick a bit of tape over the beeper as it was a bit too loud for my liking initially but now its perfect.

    @Alex: It beeps once when you engage reverse so you know its working. When you get within 1 - 1.5 metres of an obstacle it will start to beep in the same manner as they usually do. i.e. the beeps get closer together as you get nearer to the obstacle. I have uploaded an audio clip. It was taken with my iPhone so it's not great but if you turn your volume up you will get the idea of what it sounds like.

    you're a gent. i think for 20 quid you cant go to far wrong, and even if it got annoying or whatever, you can just unplug it and leave the sensors there so no ugly holes.

    oh, and any link to what you bought?

    Reconstructive surgery has been completed on my car, collecting it this afternoon :)

    The doctor even took pics for me, he must have realised what a nerd I was for recording keeping with my handwritten service history book left on the passenger seat :o

    I am glad you and your colleagues got a laugh out of it!

    Visited the local scrappy. Came away with a matching set of light covers for the 4 doors, rear spoiler & half a wheel cover :D

    Now just need to find someone to paint the spoiler for me as its a different silver - beggars can't be choosers.

    Nope never been stopped in the E30 at all. I was stopped once in the E46, I just said I was at a show at the weekend and that I forgot to change them and that I had a spare set in the boot.


    They just said to change them when you get home. That was 8 months ago :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:
