Fiat sell a hidden reversing system as an official accessory for the coupe. It is an adhesive microwave strip that goes along the inside of the rear bumber, so there are no visible sensors - cost around £75.

As for the Pininfarina badge, there is some sort of weird etiquette for using the badge. I believe that only cars that have had the exterior designed by Pininfarina can have the actual crowned badge, something like that anyway I guess it doesn't really matter, people can do what they like to their cars, some have Ferrari badges

The reverse sensor I was on about (see post above) simply connects to the reverse light bulb. When reverse is selected it simply activates an audio sound box that beeps in the usual way.

I did have an official Fiat brochure with it in, I'll try to find it.

I contacted Desira Fiat a few years ago & they still stocked it. It is a simple DIY fit, or your local specialist could fit it no problem.

Ok, I can't find the Fiat 'Brio' accessories catalogue, but you can request one from Fiat. click here

I have found a similar non-Fiat universal system online for around £75 click here (This is not a recommendation - I haven't tried it out, I just found it online - there are probably other around, a quick google should find some)

the best one is a very low lux camera [low lux = workes at night]the size of ya little finger nail, and you get a trick rear view mirror that when reversing the mirror splits into a vidio screen, no tommy gun holes
