Hello... Sorry for the first post asking a bunch of questions, hope you don't mind.
Main one I'm wondering about right now is did some of them come with parking sensors?
I'm looking at wrx wagons, hawkeyes seem to be the main offender in this regard, and some seem to have them, some don't More confusing is some that do have them often seem a little different to others - which makes me wonder if they ever came with them as standard. Doesn't seem to fit with the generally pretty basic spec of the things either.
Stuff like this is an issue as (asside from really liking un-messed-with cars in general (especially electrical mods of unknown quality), my insurance quotes never seem to go well when i tick that 'modified' button. Insurers eh... No NCB doesn't help I guess, but anyways, i'm rambling now.
So - are they an aftermarket thing?
Thanks in advance.
Quite possibly more daft questions to follow...

Ah, dealer fit.. That sort of explains it. I'm not a fan of them, they never seem to be on straight or in the same place, or etc etc etc.
No NCD is because i've been reaping the financial benefits of second car "classic" insurance on a series of 80's/90's cheap sports cars of varying quality for the last 7 years while a named driver on the other halfs sensible car. Worked out great for a while... Not so good now she's buggered off with the useful car
