You've got a modern climate controlled car so don't need to open your windows other than to hurl insults at passers by or when kerb crawling. So don't bother as they look horrendous.  :smiley:

^^+1. They look aftermarket and cheapen the look of a classy car.  :sick:

I only ever lower the window to run my swipe card through the card reader at the car park entry barrier at work. Climate control for me!

I fitted the wind deflectors to mine about 6 months ago, i had them on the mk5 aswell, i think they are quite subtle and not in ya face like the 4x4 type and a must on a golf if you always drive with the window cracked open like me, stops the rain water coming in all over the door switches and down your arm aswell  :smiley:
Think Kenny may have them fitted also now  :rolleyes:

Do you have any pics with them on mate?

Not usually a fan of them but I see the purpose! It's nice having your windows down in the summer. :)
