I agree that they are not as good as the conventional sensors, but do offer a solution to those who do not want to drill the bumper

I quite agree, it was just those that dis-credited it because they felt that it couldn't be as good as the type that you drill the bumper for.

To be fair, its all down to the quality of the product, as I can think of quite a few brands of "drilled" sensor that we will no longer entertain - Steelmate being one of them - bloody awfull

The best ones in my opinion are the Cobra ones, and certainly now the only ones that we use and fit here

The cheap (french?) ones on the MV6 are OK (good job it was a 8 sensor kit - plenty of spare sensors when they fail, which they do), but not a patch on the factory fit (Bosch Parkpilot I believe) which are very, very good
