I fitted my own for £17 for a kit from fleabay - they came colour coded in silver & the colour match is dam near perfect, they do stick out depth wise more than the OEM kit but for the money were a steal & to most people they wouldn't know the difference.  Cutting holes in the bumper was a brown pants moment tho  :laugh:  Now I have them I wouldn't be without em

Its not like they help you park but are very useful when reversing into a space just so you know how far to go - as long as the stereo isnt too loud to drown them out  :laugh:

I think they ruin the look of the bumper too and would never buy a car with them on.  When I bought the Ed30 the salesman was trying to sell me a used one they had on the forecourt but I rejected it straight away cos it had parking sensors!  I even asked that if I was to buy it would it be possible to remove them and have a normal bumper put on :grin:  I never bought the car and specced my own instead......without parking sensors!

The Golf is hardly a big car and if you need them to park then there's a problem IMO! :lipsrsealed:

cool i may have a look at pricing some up. I have cruise and i use it all the time om M/Way. love the simplicity of the cruise and sure the wife will love it.


I spec'd the A4 as it was new & out of all the bits, sensors, cruise & £27 for auto boot were well chosen.

I use cruise ALOT and the boss does also when she drives it

I can't believe how people are hung up 4 dots on a rear bumper.

I have them on a black S-line A4 and they are hardly noticeable (?).

If 4 dots on the back of a motor inter....fears with ones life that bad then............I'll get my coat.........

Haven't got them personally but the wife's Toyota Aygo has  :rolleyes:

Maybe RNS-510 and reversing sensors/camera is the way to go - saves cricking the old neck :laugh:
