Re: Heated windscreens

i will be interested but it really depends on when payment is required as money is tight for about a month. will the screens be as tough as the oem ones? my screen has a small crack so this could be a great replacement.

In alock up still. Funny thing is, there was a notice on the door from the council. Phoned them, and it appears my mate has not paid rent for 3 yrs, b45tard.
