Got the gimp mask one (OEM BMW), hate it and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a good one. Really don't like the ones which have the velcro strapped around the hoops. Personally I think that cheapens a lovely Roadster.

I see Roadster solutions do a nice one but it's from the States, I have had bad experiences purchasing from the good 'ole US and wanted to put my money to a UK supplier.

Any ideas??
 
You could opt for an oem one? Depends how much you want to spend really.
the perspex ones on ebay don't look bad but are completely ruined by the straps that attach it. Looks like sellotape :/

Not sure which wind deflector you are talking about. Do you mean the OEM mesh deflector?

:worthless:
 
If you want to go Perspex I have one that I used in the 2 litre (not needed now as my 3.0si has the OE version).

It has fabric straps which don't stretch or discolour like the transparent plastic option and a thin rubber trim along the bottom to avoid rattle against the lower portion of the seat hoops.

You can have it for £50 plus postage if it's what you're looking for (cost £120 new from Just Roadsters)

Haven't got a separate picture of it but here it is on the Zed to give you an idea of how it looks:

Oh dear!

I have the gimp mask one which I dont like the look of but that one is not pretty either.

As for the ///M badge.... :?
 
Ok Bunker - just came to mind when reading your post - hope you find what you're after.

Here we go again with the M// badge debate. . . :tumbleweed: bought our first Zed years ago in ignorance having been told it was an M sport 2 litre roadster - at the time I didn't know :?

Liked the M badges and left them until sale at the beginning of this year. (Where's the raspberry smiley!!! Here it is :P )

Oh and by the way just to make certain that it's covered before the debate starts - I am confident the M// badges most definitely made the Zed handle better and it's performance was much improved. :o The badges also attracted lots of interest from folk on the road that wanted to see how good it was which I felt obliged to show them because I believe the badges made me a better driver too 8) - so I'd encourage everyone to fix them on their non M// Zeds - Wowee. . .! :roll:

I also spent months looking for an exhaust flap I could attach over my single oval exhaust outlet I was sooo embarrassed :oops: . . . Tried using a permanent marker instead to draw a couple of exhaust tail pipes on the other side in the hope that folk wouldn't notice that either. . . (Where's the smilie with the slowly shaking head followed by a forehead slap. . . . ?)

I know I should have known better but I've been on the 12 stage re-education process and my salvation came when I found my 3.0si - have to be careful though as there are M badges to be found on that. . . .temptation, temptation - the marker pen is so close to hand! :( Am I really cured yet?????

Or to put this another way for those of you concerned so much 'Here we go again!' :headbang: :headbang: (Teach me to be a little more careful before posting photos!)

PS I've now got gaffa tape over the M// badges on my steering wheel and road wheel badges so as not to upset folk and give me false presumptions - though my therapist says that if I keep the Zed moving no one will see the M//badges on my wheels and she has taught me to hold the steering wheel at the bottom to cover the M// badge that's there. . . .

Yeh - honestly. . . :roll:
