Rear parking sensors and available types.

Yes, quite right.  This installer's guide said, "top is up to be seen by flange on every one", which I took to mean there there is a little ridge indicating the top of the sender.

Clever these Chinese...  Nevertheless, product works properly which is all you want

I used these guys www.fittedparkingsensors.co.uk they have a variety of options available, along with colour coding and diy fitting, or they can fit it for you. I had them colour coded and fitted on my driveway, the fitting process took around an hour, and they look and work great, no complaints here.

I used the same company and got terrific value and service. Colin their fitter fitted them quickly and tidily on my drive with the minimum of fuss.

Your Jazz is the same colour as mine.  How did you do the colour coding?

Thanks

just for the benefit of anyone still looking for after market parking sensors, i've just had these fitted http://www.parkingsensors.co.uk. I paid for fitting and within 5 days i had them supplied & fitted for £150. I went for the 'micro' version which are slightly smaller than standard, the standard ones are £10 cheaper. Regarding colour match, my car is alabaster silver and the website said their 'silver' ones would be the best match and i can honestly say they are a perfect match and look just as good as if i had had the honda ones (which my local dealer wanted £515 for!).

from a female point of view, paying for fitting was essential for me but it only took him half hour so anyone prepared to fit them themselves shouldnt have a problem, he didn't take my bumper off and the beeper is housed in the rear light access in the boot (the same place he wired them in)

My Jazz came with sensors fitted - the Honda £500 lot.  I fitted the Meta ones to my Yaris 5 years ago and still going strong. The sensitivity is adjustable and it was a very easy fit..

Side view on them is by necessity limited but they still beep at the sides of the garage entrance when I reverse park - clearance on either side is about  25cms.

I have fitted a few of these sensors and have had no problems,they are Cobra Parkmaster,about £60 on ebay,saying that the last one I fitted on my 2009 Jazz wouldn't set up properly,but it was the fact that I had a slight downward angle on the sensors.

For what it's worth Honda dealers seem to periodically run an offer on parking sensors for about £250 fitted.

I'm not sure if they only offer this particular deal to buyers of new/nearly new cars but it might be worth checking with your local dealer if they have anything on or coming up...
