Default Reverse parking sensors

Hey I'm thinking of getting factory reverse sensors retrofitted in my fez. Can anyone have any experiences with this?

my first thoughts are that this is probably not required in such a small car. There are no real blind spots and the back flattens so that what you see out your back window is how close you are to the car/pole/person behind you.

You dont have another metre of boot to navigate.

ie....probably a waste of money champ!

Yeah i'm kinda torn. I downsized my car to fit into really tight spaces and stuff.
I had a problem reverse parallel parking a couple of times cuz the fez's back is kinda high so you can't really gauge when the car behind has a low bonnet.

Meh stuffit - youre right. I'll spend the money on nicer stuff
