Why do you need parking sensors? Unless you can park the car yourself seems a bit of a waste of money to me.. :lipsrsealed:

Parking sensors are extremely useful because it's difficult to see out of the back of the Mk5 Golf. I quickly discovered I needed them as an aftermarket fit. My VW dealer supplied and fitted them for £160 but they could only be black. Coloured ones would have cost twice that!

Personally I think parking sensors look  :sick: :sick: :sick:  even though they are probably quite useful

i think they're more useful on a saloon;

when reverse parking i just add around 8 inches to where my rear windscreen is  :wink:

they're kinda useful but the mirrors are fine

also with the noise they make, it's kinda unclear exactly how close you are

i would say it's better to actually see it on screen

save your money and get some petrol!!!  :grin: :grin:
