Anybody got any feedback or opinions on DIY fitted rear parking sensors? Looking at fitting some and wondered what was available, cost, reliability and efficiency etc. Thanks.

There is an RAC kit that does not require you to drill holes in the bumper . It has a strip you place along the inside of the bumper instead. Supposed to be good, and there was a groupon deal a while back. I have one but have yet to fit it.

I did a bot of research into this lately and found a lot of accounts of these metallic strips being very hit and miss with regard reliability and the distance they work was far too small.

I got scorpion one's installed and they're quite good in fairness. Not as good as OEM one's I had before which were excellent but more than adequate. €95
