Meta Targa SR2 reversing - qxman {p}
When I get my new car I want to fit reversing sensors. In the past I have seen a 'Meta Targa SR2' system which consists of a new rear numberplate holder with reversing sensors built in. This appeals because it means no drilling of the bumper and it looks neat.
Can any of the forum please suggest the cheapest place to buy this system and whether there are any similar alternatives (clones)? I have done a Google but no come up with much other than the SR2.

I have used there recently on an MPV. Main problem is that they do not work very well if....

a) you are reversing and turning sharply at the same time (e.g into a car space with pillars/posts at the entrance corners of the space; and

b) if there is something very low and close to you when you start reversing.

Sensors in the bumper are much better (unless like me you are so stressed over something, you ignore the beeps and reverse into a tree!)
