I tried the number plate one and ended up taking it back as it did go off due to my tow hitch, I then got the ones on the link below, i had these on my last miggy and on my presant one and to be honest they are absolutly brilliant, i have never had any trouble with them, they are easy to fit and the display fits neatly in the corner of the dash, it does not look tacky, no wire showing at all.

i have something similar to Miggys, i deceided to paint mine, it looks pretty factory finish even if i do say so myself.

they are effective if they are used as an aid and not as the primary source of navigation, and if you paint them dont blast the paint on too thick as it can knacker the sensors  :y

I managed to get a similar system to Miggy and the sensors came more or less the same colour as the car (Blue), fitted the display just in front of my MID, works a treat, well worth getting if your ok fitting stuff like that. :y

I placed the display in the very corner by the tax disc, this hide the wire as it can be run behind the door pillar.

people will say it looks cheap tat, but it is the dogs, never an issue with them, wires can be hidden and it is very accurate.
