why would you put parking sensors on a two :mad: , just look out of window you can see back of car very easy to see, i have parking sensors on wifes galaxy but thats a different story bit of a pig to see, very easy if you get the wireless kit (park it right) i got mine from if you really want to put a set on your two :thumleft: :thumleft:

Was just an idea as my street has loads of small barriers up the side of the road and i have got close to hitting them before.

Thanks for all the positive replies anyhow.

Do monkeys squeek, or more of a "uurrrrggghhh" sound when they're squashed by a post?

Yeah, if I ever bought a car with parking sensors in the bumper, I'd have them removed holes filled in and the bumper resprayed.

They look awful imo.
