yup you can get kits well cheap on ebay the mg one is about 200. The cheap ones r easy to fit. You just mark and drill the holes (after taking your bumper off), pop them in, feed the wires through the gromit into the rear wing, and connoct the power to 1 of the rear light connectors. There is a how to somewhere from when sammy did his mg i coppied him lol. The sensors can be lightly spray painted to

Ah cool, that's handy as I have some Trophy Blue paint in an aerosol!
So they work well do they?
If someone gets really close to you in traffic do they go off?

And yeah you have to be in reverse for them to work lol.
