Default anyone used a "Meta SR2 Targa Parking Sensor System" before?

anyone had any experiences with these things, apparently halfords can fit it for you for what thats worth (probably not much!) and seems like quite a good product as to avoid drilling holes in the bumper to get some sort of reversing sensor.

whilst i get that it won't be as good as the 4 sensor jobbies that you have to drill holes for, it should be better than nothing so at least you don't reverse into other cars and such, right??

wow, makes me wonder how on earth we all managed to reverse without hitting parked cars before we had parking sensors ? Sorry just really don't see the point, if you cant park without hitting stuff you shouldn't be driving !

i'm actually a decent enough parker, however the scooby is my first saloon car and just not used to having a boot.

i had a a3 before so practically where the rear window ended is more or less how far as i can go and come to think of it actually, i've never really driven saloon cars before, just hatches!
