I casting around looking for a wind deflector for my 325i Convertible, the current one on Ebay seems genuine BMW and is going for a fortune.
I`ve found another company selling their own version, but here are no piccys on the web site, has anyone bought one of these and are they any good?

Also can anyone tell me where they actually mount on the car?

The cost looks to be about Ԛ£170 + Delivery

If there are no pictures then dont bother. That's a lot of dough to spend on something you cant see and a copy at that. They do turn out from time to time mate. I had 2 and sold one to a zoner for Ԛ£120 including the carry case. I stil have one left, but it's promosde to Andyp (Another zoner) so i cant sell it. Look on ebay.de They turn up there sometimes and it's always reasonable price.

As for the fitting, it sits across your back seat and there are clips at either the hooks into where your seat belt is if that mankes sense?

do a worldwide search on ebay for windschott.
Got mine from Germany, original one for 92 quid delivered.
Pic shows original one fitted, kinda converts it to a 2 seater, very good at speed too.

I had a Classic Additions wind deflector on my old convertible. I sold it on to Keith52 when I moved my cabby on for a Sport.

They work just as well as the OEM ones, but don't quite look as neat. They mount to the upper seatbelt mounts and is quite fiddly to install, but once in presents no problem.

Piccies of mine for your reference...
