Retro fitting parking sensors

[RedHP]

Sorry guys slightly off the topic, but when I passed my test 16 years ago there were no sensors and we had to park using our judgement. I have had sensors on my last 2 cars over the last 6 years and can't believe how much I rely on these. I am deteriorating......!!!!!!!! 

We all are mah deah, some more than most.

However, when our hearing deteriorates we know we can always count on Asker !

I've realised that I'm starting to reverse park like my old my mum   - sometimes I get back in the car and have another go its that bad

Thats not a good sign !
Reverse parking = one chance (however, I grew in London, so if you're a carrot-cruncher it may be different) !

Boys, with or without sensors, I have always been a shocker in the reverse mode.

I think I'm still getting used to Mr G.  I used to be able to park the Audi (Avant) with my eyes shut but then I did have it for 7 years - this one's still a baby in comparison!

I put it down to the shape of modern cars. Small windows, large pillars, large sloping exterior panels and no defined corners. I find modern cars a pain to park as you simply cannot see.
Most things upto the 90s maybe mid 90s are fine but more modern i have problems. I can remove my mates 43 cars from his unit, then later park them all back in no problem, but modern cars i have big problems with.

When I drive my mums old Micra it's like driving a greenhouse
