Bought one of these cheap kits recently and got it all hooked up.
They work really well and it installed much easier than I anticipated.
There is no need to remove the bumper and all the wires are hidden quite well.
I was going to take pictures as I went but wasn't really sure if anyone is interested.
I can make a quick guide if anyone really wants to do it.

The sensors are available in silver also I believe, I wasn't concerned as I planned on painting mine exactly to the colour of the car but I'm kind of liking the black
anyway.

very nice - how do they alert you? light? buzzing?

I like your wheels - what size are they? what make and model number ? thanks

The unit has a digital display showing the distance and with beeps. The beeps become more frequent as the distance decreases. I have it mounted on the dash.

The wheels I have just changed to the one's in this picture. The old ones were 16" and these are off a later model merc but not sure which one, these are 17"

Can you please tell me why you have decided to place the sensors there and not above as it's shown in the pic below (1) ?

They might be ok there but I put mine where they are because I know they fit with the wires hidden without problems.
The area you suggest is recessed behind the rest of bumper which "might" hinder the zone at which the sensors work ie. the signal might bounce onto the lip of the outer bumper. Also I think the lower height as mine probably helps to scope out objects close to the road. Mine will pick up a curb for example if I tried to reverse up to it, I don't know for sure if they could if I had them mounted higher.
The bumper was never removed for my installation.
