SOS - Save Our Splitters

New to C63, worried about smacking the splitter into curbs and parking blocks every time I park it, and having trouble figuring out exactly where the front end of this damn thing is. Has anyone found aftermarket proximity sensors or cameras that can mount up front and help me not bust up the splitter?

I'm not sure if aftermarket parking sensors could be mounted low enough to prevent scraping your splitter. I just back into all parking spaces.

I'd be interested to see how they work out mounted that low.

if you mount it that low, the sensor will mistake the road for an object. it won't work. You just need to get a feel for it.
