Why bother when you can get one for £8-£10.

Wow, really low price. However, I'm after something a little different. I'm mostly concerned running my front lip into curbs. So basically a front sensor for curbs. Also, I don't want any electronics mounted or wired inside the cockpit. If I can use an Arduino with bluetooth, I might be able to use my Idrive bluetooth to communicate. Basically mount Arduino in engine compartment and wire to sensors. Then select the the parking sensor bluetooth channel when I want to use it. The Arduino will output beeps varying in frequency to the cars audio system via bluetooth.
There are cheaper options available. Universal fitment too.

It's a paltry (poultry) amount of money though.
You could also mount a few of these...

Some aftermarket options can look a bit fowl unfortunately.
