DannyB Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yes lol, i did it at work not long ago, reversed into my spot and thought "easssy now" Got out and had a look, was still about 6foot to go till i would hit the wall! Tut tut i know! But i barely reverse! Awaits Pee Takers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah, I always struggled with reversing. It was even harder in mine as it has a blacked-out rear screen, so parking at night was impossible. I was usually 2-3 feet further away than I thought. I picked up a reversing sensor from fleabay which has a clip-on rear view mirror that displays the distance in metres and a series of bars going from green to red indicating which side the obstruction is. Definately worth the tenner it cost. It sometimes throws a bit of a fit if the sensors are mucky or frosted up, but apart from that it's been great.

Havard Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 why the hell would the spoiler help plus i like the look of the car without thats why i got this one. I use the spoiler as a reversing tool. If the spoiler is a foot away from an object then you are about 3" away from hitting it!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
