Anybody Bought These?
Just browsing E Bay looking for a perspex wind deflector, came upon these, any thoughts? Anyone fitted them?

That's Simon aka "007" on here.
Lots of people have bought his deflectors and I think it would be fair to say that opinion is divided.
Some like them some don't.
I've tried several variants and prefer the BMW mesh type that fits over the roll hoops.
The perspex ones undoubtedly give better visibility but IMHO are not as effective at blocking the wind. They also restrict access to your top storage cubby if you have one.
It's all a mater of personal choice.

They are the best quality perspex deflectors I have seen by far (I had one of the prototypes and a custom made one for the schnitzer hoops)
In terms of performance they are 95% as effective as the mesh OEM so not really noticeable, as stated above they do restrict access to the top storage box but look great (especially if you have chrome hoops) and you can actually see whats behind you

Are you looking to upgrade your current speakers? If you are then I would say its a good idea.
Quite liked the look of them when he announced them, but a bit pricey when you factor in buying new speakers to fit it, and then I would have needed to upgrade other parts of the audio system to make the best use of the new speakers...

Hi
As Jont has already stated excellent quality from Simon
I had the OEM Mesh originaly on the car
But I prefer the Perspex as it enables to see
whats behind you a lot clearer
Especially at night as I always left the mesh up

I have one TaffZee, as said by others great visibility and looks better than the mesh, the downside is that you cannot use the top compartment, use the space behind it or clean the inside of the rear window without removing it.

I hate to say it and although the quality looks good £140 is insane for a bit of perspex.

I was going to buy one of these but thought the price was a bit steep, so bought some 6mm acrylic and some 50mm velcro straps off of ebay, and set to with drills and a jigsaw. Made a cardboard template first, then cut the profile and slots, then progressively smoothed of the edges by scraping with the back of a hacksaw blade, then a file, then emery paper, getting finer and finer. Finished off by polishing with some T-cut. Took a couple of hours overall, but I think only cost ~£40.JAV11S wrote:Anyone who has a JustRoadster one, or one they have made themselves, what thickness of perspex have people used? Do people think this is thick enough, and what thickness do people think would be best if they were doing it again?

At some point will probably do a MK2 version which has a curved top, which I think will look nicer. Have done 70+mph (ahem) and no problems with strength or rattling. Piccy of it fitted to the zed:

I have one but they have some problem. I really don't recognize it yet but it shows trouble when speed increases. I want now mesh. I heard good about that one.
