Hi Guys

Looking at previous threads and have decided to get some parking sensors. Ive seen aload on eBay about £15/20 for grey ones but this to me seems to cheap :huh:

Are the ebay ones any good??

Cheers
Gaz
 
Simple answer is yes they are good. Infact as good as genuine Honda, BMW Merc etc etc sensors.

I paid £14 for mine and they work as well as the sensors in my mums 2011 Golf and my old BMW 318i se.

And a doddle to fit as well.
 
Have either of you got a link ?

Cheers Paul
 
these are what i have.

Gaz im not 100% but you might be able to get them sprayed with the perfect match Honda paint.
im very fussy and if there is a slight difference in colour that would annoy me.
 
I just looked where they are and its only about an hour away from me and i'm off tomorrow so might have a trip to see the colour match. Plus saves postman loosing them :lol:
 
I went for Steelmate parking sensors. Got them from Ebay for around 50 GBP just because I didn't want to put very cheap Chinese ones on my car.

Not sure if they are any better at all - probably not. They do come with detachable sensor heads in case one breaks you can change the individual sensor rather than the whole system.

I think Honda OEM use Laserline so check those out if you want OEM look, but they are a bit more expensive.

Also heard good things about dolphin but they are around the same price as Steelmate so no point IMO.
 
I went down and got a set today, the dark grey looks a good match to mine. Getting them fitted tomorrow
 
i had the dolphin fitted over 2 years ago, (lifetime warranty !)

the dash display is really helpful as it means I can park with good accuracy in tight spaces.
 
I have the dolphin ones myself - the local dealer wanted around £600 to fit a Oem set.

I've been pleased with them & I got the micro black sensors, which look pretty good against my black paint.
 
The colour is spot on, i'll upload a pic if anyone is intrested once washed :lol:

Its funny I can reverse a double decker into a tight spot but struggle with a accord on the rear distance lol
