I have fitted some with little success in reliability compared to the OEM ones.

My missus C5 already had the cutout in the back bumper so bought a set off ebay for about £50. Easy to fit and wire in but used to bleep even when reversing off the drive with nothing behind.

Ditched those and got a proper Citroen set for about £100. Again they fitted in the cut-outs in the bumper and were a little better than the ebay jobbies but still pretty crap at picking up posts etc. OK when your reversing up to a wall but thats about it IMO. There is adjustment pots for sensitivity, etc.. but if you adjust them so they pick up smaller objects (such as posts, etc..) they then bleep as soon as you select reverse!

Back off the sensitivity so they work well when backing up against the garage door and then they won't pick up the smaller objects.

I personally wouldn't recommend from my 2 experiences but Davy seems to have had better luck with his.
