Since I've seen some cars with these on recently I have to admit I'm now in the "not for me" camp.

I do think they look good but having had them on previous cars (purely for aesthetics) I can safely say that a set will not be going on the Golf as wind noise is really bad - so bad that even my GF noticed and she wouldn't notice if a wheel had come off!

I did like them but have gone off them a tad, simply because all the cars that I have seen with them has had some absolute chav/ned driving  :undecided:

I saw a set on a jetta yesterday and although originally I thought no the one on this jetta looked really good. Not sticking out at all, very sleek and looked as though they belonged. Not for me personally but these ones looked good.

When I look at the clearance between the door frame and the mirrors when folded, I do wonder how the hell the deflectors would fit without being crunched when the mirrors are folded up. There is almost no gap there to accomodate the lippage of the wind deflector.

Why anyone would want these is beyond me. They belong firmly on an old Austin Maestro with wooden bead seat covers.

The golden rule of car ventilation in the summer is windows down to 30mph, then put the aircon on for speeds above that (as the aerodynamic losses of having the window open are greater than the power required by the A/C unit above 30-35mph, and wind noise is really noticeable above that speed)
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
