Davidbf1.com Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 @Little Urchin pretty sure mine is the low version, not the high. I agree, difficult to see any difference on their website though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Davidbf1.com, I'm now going to order one, although I imagine the new inport duty from the EU may be a bit of a shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct in thinking you should NOT be paying the German VAT, “only” the UK VAT and possibly that to your courier - eg DHL, UPS etc? Just make sure you’ve not been invoiced twice for the VAT. There’s a better explanation on this forum somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website responded to indicate the price was 226,05,- € (without German VAT) + 35,- € shipping and packaging to the UK.

Davidbf1.com Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 I’m pretty sure mine was about that cost, which was back in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxie Posted March 6, 2021 Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 You guys have tempted me to buy the glass one from Germany. Has anyone done wind buffet comparisons between none, mesh & glass? What sort of difference is there, or is this a purely cosmetic mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxie Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 Spoken to Lukas, he says 99% of his customers order the high one and it does offer a lot better wind noise reduction. I've gone ahead and ordered that one. Will report back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikaner Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 As I started this off I felt I had to comment. Mine arrive last week. I ordered the low version and the fit is perfect. When I lay the glass version over the top of original mesh type they are the same size. I will try and get an image on here at some point. Hope this helps! Also no road test feed back as yet but hope to get out for a blast this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put Silver over White (same as Davidbf1.com ) They come is packs of 3 per colour. I want to keep one set as spare but you are welcome to the other set. Don't think they will work on mesh though. Or anyone else with glass / perplex wind deflector want a them?I can post them if I have your address. (not sure how we do that?) Newbie.............

PUR321 Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 I am going to order the glass wind deflector. But I am not sure whether to go for the low or high version. Has anyone tried to compare the high version one with the OEM mesh one? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Fyi the made in garforth one, extra thick version is really strong and sturdy I have it on mine and it's significantly cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) I have the high windschott glass screen, courtesy of @drgav2005 and think it is good. the top of the high one is just out of frame in the rear view mirror, so you can’t see it at all in the mirror - i think the top of the low one would be in my rear view mirror and i might find it distracting.. ive just put hte car cover on, otherwise i would take a photo - the next time i am in it i will Edit. It is 20mm higher than oem mesh. Photos to follow Edited June 22, 2023 by moonshine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perspex is quite forgiving if you take your time ...practice on some scraps and you will get the feel. It will plane and file very neatly also. Easy to work with just reduce the pressure 👍 It will also mill and you can use a router ......... Its a fine line between cut and melt. You will soon pick up the skill. If you draw a fine file along the cut edge you should attain a very decent finish A blow torch run along the edge will melt the perspex into a nice edge too. Just keep the flame moving and you will get a glassy finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
