Deflectors
« on: 07 October 2008, 17:15 »
Well, Autumn and Winter are here/coming and I am truly getting fed up with opening the window and getting covered in rain off the car :sick:

Seriously considering some of these:-

They look good quality and are even fitted on the OSIR R32 demo car. Smoked colour and so should fit with the colour scheme. Under £70 for the front and rears on my 5 door, so if they are crap I can simply flog them on!

Naff or okay?

I bet the guys at JKM wish MKVs had them - they kept on having to wipe the roof and edge of the window to stop the dripping.

Just keep the window shut until the water has run off the roof!
Always remind me of old men driving years ago those wind deflectors, or cab drivers in Turkey!!

Yes, I know they have the faint whiff of caravan driver/old geezer about them, but I'm simply p1ssed off at getting covered in water everytime I get a ticket at the local carpark or enter my password number into the firms gate access/egress :sick:

Strewth, the hound in that picture really shouldn't roll down her tinted windows without broadcasting a fright warning beforehand.  Iv'e just gone right off my sticky buns!  :sick:

Seriously, they look alright, but will the smoke colour go well with silver?

LOL, she did put me off for a minute there too :grin:

I think the smoke would be okay, Steel Grey is an obvious match, but with the paintwork I'm going to do, it should be fine :smiley:
