Lovely job Stewart! They look great, don't they? Yes I'm quite taken with them I had been thinking about them for a while but when a few posted on this thread about their possible ineffective performance, I was going to ditch the idea but I visited Andy at Lifes Motors on Tuesday and he used to have the same model of 4 seater as mine and now has a 2006 Roadster 4 seater and he convinced me they do make a difference plus they looked pretty nice I'm not too bothered if they really make a difference in terms of deflecting the draught in the cockpit as they look so nice Might slightly get in the way occasionally but I can always undo them and take them off the hinge

I wonder if anyone has experimented with how small a wind deflector can be and still work effectively?
I can remember on our race-bike fairings, that very small lips on the fairing screen could make a significant difference to the airflow. I am searching for details of perspex type made by someone. They were made after cardboard templates were used to determine the size/shape on test runs. I think, from vague memory that they were screen frame mounted and shaped to match the top of the door so no interference from the door/wingmirrors.

They look very smart and it will be interesting to get the feedback after the diverse reports on here thus far.

I bet the practical Swedes don't though ! We have to see yours fitted please. p.s. When I hear people decrying the OE headlamps on Morgan's I do rather wonder what they are talking about, or rather what velocities are they travelling at. I have always found them adequate for normal road speeds. I had spot lamps on my first +8 but never felt the need for them, but they looked good .

I'll report back as to their efficacy when I've been out - probably Sunday
