Citroen C1 Parking

This is a long shot but anyone out there who drives a citroen c1 (mine is 2009), what is the best reference point for 45-degree reverse bay parking? Been driving for 2 years and still struggle to bay park. Tried so many things but I always end up parked differently and it's so frustrating that I don't drive anywhere I don't need to in fear that I won't be able to park. Youtube videos don't help since the cars used are always bigger so the reference points are different. Always say I'm going to go to a car park at night and practice but never get the chance to :/
Interior door handles? As long as you always use the same reference point, over time you should be getting more accurate.
Reference points are something instructors use to make you get it quickly and perform manoeuvres by the book. They don't work in every car and in every situation so they're pointless imho. Position well, use your mirrors and adjust accordingly.
