    Is it the 4 sensors, or one large sensor ? Will that work if you reverse against say a fence ??

    I thought the whole point of those electromagnetic type sensors was to avoid having to remove the bumper to drill any holes, as it usually just a strip that sticks on inside the bumper or sometimes behind the number plate. I dont think you need to remove the bumper matey.... Do you?

    Bumper has to be removed as you need a bit of room to put the strip in the right location

    I have heard they are not very good. Get the cisco ones from Ebay, at <£20. What colour is your car?

    Or these ones if you want a display too. Was going to say they were even cheaper - they were £10 when I got mine but seem to have crept up.
