Hi all!
I am planning to install parking sensors on my MX-5 Kendo (dolphin grey). I am not sure which parking sensors the best or if I could buy official colour coded ones from Mazda. I would very much rather install colour coded ones as it matches the car. Also would it be best to take it to an official mazda dealer to install? If you have any recommended garages near Twickenham that could do an excellent job I would love to hear it.

Many thanks!

DDS

Surrey Auto Works - they do bodywork as well as normal garage stuff so should be able to match things up even if you don't find colour-coded stuff. www.surreyautoworks.com/

Dadbif thanks for the link. I have been looking into installing flush mounted parking sensors. Simply because it looks neat on the car. These are the options I am looking into at the moment:
Dolphin DFM 400
Vodafone Cobra Park Master F/R0394
Parksafe PS9406M

I am leaning towards Cobra ParkMaster. Anyone have any experience with these sensors?

PS just leanred about number plate parking sensors! 😱

Thanks
