Since the car wash did my reversing mirror in I have realised just how useful it is.

Toyota are quoting £86.00 !! pig

Might get sensors instead. Anyone have good stories about them ?

I usually just stick my head out the window if I'm worried....the rear bumper paint will testify Crying or Very sad
I don't know why cars can't just have a 2" thick strip of rubber on the bumpers...then we can bump at will.....

I'm after a camera, had a seniors moment tother day and backed into someones tow ball. No damage to him leetle ding to me Sad Camera would do the trick..The back window is too dark of a tint for the mirror, actually you have to look hard to see the top brake light because of the tint

I have a mirrror and also dark tint, not much use until I fitted a silver cover on the tow ball, now I use it most the time as looking at the silver spot I can just make out object behind. Parking is so easy now.

I had a cheap stick on sensor pack on a Townace, worked very well, a higher quality set would be worth the effort.

I have sensors fitted - they work very well but the beeping is a pain in the @***! I would probably prefer a camera.

I find my reversing mirror invaluable. Can see exactly what's going on back there.

I've got a light tint on the back, but also one of those one-way see through stickers at the top.

I'm a proud reversing camera owner now. 7" GPS whacked on the dash above the glove box and camera hooked up and so far it's great.

Good looking roo bar fractalias cheers
