Retro fit Parking Reverse Sensors

[pow216]

Hi Guys,

What are the options for retro fitting reversing parking sensors to a civic EP3?

OEM or aftermarket? I could measure up a civic bumper that had them from the factory to get the right look, but are the OEM parts available from Honda?

Thanks

Honda charged me £200 including painting and fitting.

It's not an EP3 I know but you get the idea...

£200 doesn't sound too bad.

For an EP3 is it possible to buy the bits from Honda and DIY?

Thanks for the links, they are great. £374 for the OEM parts sounds steep though, when aftermarket is a lot less.

I always thought the rear view out of my EP3 and mirrors was always pretty good. Is there any need?

You're playing a very dangerous game there! :lol:

IMHO they are necessary on the FN2 as there is no rear wiper and especially in these colder mornings you can see fudge all out of the back until you get the heated rear window on and a bit of airflow over the window...

Never had the need in my EP3 but that being said, they are handy to stop you mis-judging.
