MGW has tried his template on my car so i know it will fit.

Try and live with the aeroscreen though before you buy full screen. You might like it. When it rains you get wet anyway so might not be an advantage unless you are thinking of getting full wet gear for the car.

I'll second Darren's comment. Mango makes a decent screen.

But try getting used to the aero screen first. Just by adding a few degrees more angle / or a gurney strip you can get the majority of the air flow over your head.

I have been a passenger in a car with a full screen, but no doors, and the buffetting was worse than just my aeroscreen.

I have also been a passenger in two Caterhams, both with full windscreens and doors. Much more civilised.

In my opinion, if you fit a front windscreen, you need a set of doors too.

Where abouts are you? And who's car are you looking to buy?

defo need doors or side screens if your gonna fit a windscreen. Got one on my striker and without the doors you do get buffeted, but not as bad as with out any wind screen.

Wasn't Mango going to start doing doors, or am I dreaming that thread?

Remember you will need demist if you fit a screen.

But we have a small matter to sort out......cars on a lawyers hit list
