Gutted! Broke my roadster solutions wind deflector

[CryptoWhale]

Been waiting a while for one of these to pop up as they are quite rare due to being discounted. One came up for sale here so i bought it (thanks @groovy_hippy). Fitting it today I've broke one of the roll hoop pieces my own fault for using too much force..

Does anyone know of anywhere that would be able to make an exact copy of the perspex plastic thing if I sent it to them?

I know they’re not local to you and no idea if they’d do it but we have one of the biggest acrylics companies based here. (my brother was part owner until a few years ago)

You could alway try them and see Midton Acrylics

Why not use an original one?

Acrylic /perspex is easy to work and finish with DIY tools and a bit of experience and not too expensive/big if this is the section that fits inside the roll hoops. First off while you've got everything tape the bits together and draw round the outline (exactly) onto a sheet of good quality paper or thin card - in fact make a couple of copies.

The firm you've contacted may want the template or bits to work from. If they don't fancy doing it for you; give me a PM - I've got a little plastic around the workshop having made some machine guards earlier this year if not its no problem to buy some in.

And if it's that easy, why isn't [ref]Crazy Harry[/ref] knocking out complete kits to supplement his pension? :wink:

Hi Harry,

Thanks very much for your offer, that's extremely kind of you. I've managed to find a few more companies over the weekend which believe they can do this for me. I'm just going back and forth via email at the moment getting price quotes. Currently only got one quote which works out around £100 Inc VAT - I'm not sure if this is the ballpark to what I should be expecting to pay?

I don't know if you have tried this firm, I've used them in the past for kitchen/office projects. If they have a minimum charge get a couple of them cut: https://www.cutplasticsheeting.co.uk/product/clear-impact-acrylic/
