Used with my 600mm breaker bar made life easier on high torque tightening now that I am getting on a bit!

Dunc, I have exactly the same car and have pondered about these for ages. Any chance of a photo when you've fitted them? Cheers Kev.

Managed to find time to fit them today. Easy job and I like the look. I'll find out tomorrow whether or not they're effective!

Post up how good the deflectors are at wind and noise reduction please.

Will do.

Dunc.

Look alright mate.

Hi Dunc, my car is exactly the same as yours. I didn't realise when I bought it that it has a set of Westminster alloys fitted. I much prefer yours which I presume are standard Autobiography. Have you any idea what the style number is? Cheers Kev.

a member just sold a set Cheers, Greg

Well, I've done about 80 miles with the deflectors on and they seem to work well. No wind noise and much reduced noise with the window lightly open.

All in all I'm really pleased with them. I like the look, too.

Dunc.

i can answer that Richard....not a lot..

i had them on my westie and they did improve buffeting a very small amount but i found opening the rears a tad helped more.

they didnt even stop the windscreen washer water coming in when you were moving and window was open..

oh, and they aint easy to fit.. ... - .- -.

Thanks Stan, appreciate your comments, that's a shame . But you have saved me some pennies and perhaps a beating (verbal, I hasten to add) from SWMBO for needless expenditure

re water in from washers. do you think JLR employ folks to design P*** you off functions and faults? Bet we could start a thread on that. ( eg. So what did you design to annoy folks today??) Cheers

Wonder if Stan had the inframe ones? Like you said, can't see how the stick on ones can be hard to fit.

yep, mine were the in frame ones, you had to bend them to get them into the window well ...

i can see the stick outer ones being much easier to fit..  ... - .- -.

Did you have any issues with the windows closing properly Stan? Have heard of in frame ones causing whistling until the rubbers have 'given' a bit because the window is not fully up.
