Not wanting to open old wounds but windscreen or Aero Screen?
OK this debate has been rattling around our kitchen since VMax bought his first bit of steel - whether to have a windscreen or this piece of carbon affectionately called an AeroScreen.
Firstly AERO is a chocolate bar and does not belong on the build - but I dont want rain in my face or to be eating flies (keep it clean) I would like to be able to hear VMax chattering whilst we drive along - so thoughts please, who has either - help me restore calm to our kitchen or convince me to have the chocolate bar screen thank you

a windscreen will create more form drag and therefore use more petrol so he will have less money to spend on flowers for you

Personally I had been considering this since my build started. I am going for a windscreen purely for those reasons, keep a little more of the wildlife out of my hair and teeth. I bought an extremely cheap locost screen off ebay and am in the process of modifying it to make it look right. Is a bit too narrow width wise and tall hightwise at the moment. Not sure at the moment whether to bother with wipers etc as it will be removes and retro fitted after iva to eliminate all the usual wiper, demister etc issues.
I'm sure I will not be the only member with an opinion so you will have plenty of other comments to fan the flames of the kitchen debate Russ |

I reckon half a screen on your side that gives you a make up mirror in the sun visor, that will also give your hair a fighting chance. Mr vmax can have the aero so he cant hear a word you say. Deep joy for all

Usual thing is if u put screen on before iva I believe u must have demister, washers and wipers. I am thinking if I just use a screen but nothing else due to pretty low mileage I may get away with just cleaning screen occasionally. If not then probably make provision to fit something like landrover wipers or something like that. Shouldn't be that difficult either way......he says with fingers crossed!

the faster you go the drips get pushed out to the sides by the wind as the visor is curved not flat like a windscreen |
