Re: reverse sensors,
At that price they've got to be worth a punt.I wonder if they can be painted another colour as i know painting parking sensors can mess them up.

Re: reverse sensors,
You can paint the parking sensors if your light with the coats.
The other half bought me some Euro Car Parts ones for christmas. In the middle of painting them Matt black at the moment. They were gloss.

Re: reverse sensors,
I know when i had to replace one on my bmw i was lucky as my bumper is black and they come black as standard but if you needed a colour coded one thay had to come special order as they reckon they needed special paint,i know my mate who has a body shop has had issues in the past with certain makes of sensors,perhaps some are more sensitive than others.

Re: reverse sensors,
Cheers chaps,
At that price there worth a gamble, so I will grab some for my new banger,
If they're no good not much lost aspose,
Just had a look on another forum they've colour coded them with no problem
So no worries there,

Re: reverse sensors,
I think those park sensors look awfull on car and they dont do much of a job.
Most of folks here equipped with those sensors have dented or scratched bumpers because they rely too much on them.

Re: reverse sensors,
£10.99 wow thats cheap, ive always bought these sensors:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330340144598? ... 1423.l2649
Been putting them in every car ive had as well as a number of friends and family cars never had any trouble except on the 406 sprayed on too many coats and fu**ed them up, but after replacing them for already painted ones havent had any trouble.
My mum though even with parking sensors has reversed the clio into a trailer, an X5 and a 3 series.
