    not the JML ones, got them cheaper when Woolies closed, sorry I bothered.They weren't any good.

    Think you'll have to pay a bit more for something decent...

    If you want decent, get the OEM ones fitted ... but probably not cheap.

    the c max has a flat rear with windows all round giving good visibility, why do you need the sensors?

    a friends dad decided to get the sensors fitted to his voyager, 2 days later he hit a skip causing a lot of damage, due to the shape of the skip the sensors were telling him he had a good few feet to go, unfortunaly the sensors were measuring the bottom half of the skip, not the top.:rotfl:

    That is just like satnavs, really useful most of the time but never an excuse to turn your brain off.
