I bought a parking sensor set for my CityBug

I like keeping busy with my CityBug so I bought a parking sensor set for my CityBug. I bought the set for a bargain price on Ebay so I thought why not.
It would be a nice extra gadget.

The parking sensor set only has a buzzer to indicate your space because I don't like the "display-types" that much. The set comes with 4 black 20mm sensors and the sensors are automatically activated as soon as you engage into reverse gear. It has a three-stage beeping mode indicating different distances from the obstacle. It provides audible alerts within 1.5m

That's nice,
I plan to have one too, if possible the model with no piercing with just a metallic sensor taped inside the bumper like this :

And in addition i will probably install a video camera like that one :

Your type of parking sensors are also very nice but a lot more expensive.

Also a very nice photoshoot of the install.

Personally I don't see the point of a reverse camera but the technic is ok ;-)
