I was kind of thinking about it or having some video feed in from the back...but its just the thought of putting two holes or whatever it takes these days into my lovely car...

It just would be very useful...the pics of those two cars in the parking slot is a case in point!

Well how about fitting them into the rear reflector so that you wouldn\'t have to damage bumper?

if i were you i would fit them straight away!    you know these women,  she would reverse into something just so she could say "i told you to fit those reverse sensors, its your fault" :spank

being serious though, i fitted them to my 5 series and the wifes car, they are really easy to do, especially of you have a removable trim on the bumper, you can pull it off and fit them in that, job done!:Thumbsup!

WTF     :3Confused   Pay some one to drill 4 holes and plug in 5 wires which are labelled. You obviously have too much money, what makes you think RE Worx are any more experienced at fitting Reverse sensors than you are. The kit even comes with the right size hole cutter.

lol - Well you missed out on buying the T-shirt m8 :) and anyway, anyone who has fixed and modded their car has absolutely no right to tell anyone what is easy and what is hard...

...I figure that Reworx can do it at the same time as the change of my back break light...one of them has stopped lighting up but thankfully I have the three other back-up lights still working so its not too bad!
