wind deflector

[Navin]

hey all, i want to fit a wind deflector to my 5, has anyone got one and are they any good?
I have a roll bar behind my seats with a bar at each end going back onto the parcel shelf so i can't fit one on.
I've seen ones that strap onto the back of the seats but i don't think they look that good.
I was going to get one made out of perspex and fit it onto the roll bar that i have. What i need to know though is does it need to be at an angle or will it do at 90 degrees to to parcel shelf? i must take a photo of my roll bar so you can see what i'm on about.

Here's some photos so you can see what i'm on about!! I want to attach the perspex to the seat side of the bar.

sorry, my photos loaded up really big for some reason!!

try this, i got some lexan from e bay, bronze tinted and will fit it soon. Do not use perspex as it will slice you in 2 in a crash........god forbid.

Thanks for the link, i must give it ago! I have an e mail sent to the crowed on ebay selling the lexan to see can i get a piece big enough!!

i got 2 pieces sent over, one for this and one for a hardtop screen so you'll have no problem.

I e-mailed them Saturday and haven't heard back from them yet!!

can be a bit slow alright but they will get back......which crowd by the way?????

Got an e mail back from them saying it would be £35 for the sheet and £20 to post which works out to be around €62. thats from gfgplasticfabricationsltd.
There is a company in my town called kelplex displays in tallow co. waterford that works with that stuff too and he said if i make a card board template that
he will cut it to size on the machine and round the edges for €70 which an't bad so i might go with that instead, it will save a lot of time trying to cut it and
the edges will be rounded too like a car window would be. Happy days!! just hope it works now!!!!

70 to supply as well or just to cut and finish?????
Thats the crowd i got the 2 pieces from.

[Navin]

That's to supply and cut it. I'd have to fit it myself but that wouldn't be to bad. I'll probably go with that. I must just make a cardboard template for him to work from.

just make sure its polycarbonate(Lexan) . Good price if it is.
