Unfortunately I have shattered the left hand door top and in the process lost the forward 25% , the section with the curve and the cutout to mate up with the
main screen . Westfield have today , 6 August , advised me that presently they only supply the complete three piece assembly at £374.00 . Does
anyone have a redundant item or know who the actual manufacturer might be before I attempt some D.I.Y. The car is still usable , just draughty .
Cheers , Bob Whittaker .

Re: DOOR TOPS
Yes, they replace the whole aero screen.
You might contact an aircraft windshield fabricator (these technicians also supply race car aero screens, and can also make your headlight covers). There is a good sized home built aircraft community in the UK, so you should be able to find someone that can cut and bend your side panels. Otherwise, just get a new windscreen assembly.

Of course the car can be used without the screens , after all don't Westfield advise that the car be taken for the I.V.A. examination
without the doors and screens fitted !

Re: DOOR TOPS
Could you template the borken section in card, Bob? Then cut and bend your own piece. Or was it more than just the screen damaged?

If I can't source a replacement at a realistic price it is my intention to have a go myself , as I see it that is what these cars are all about anyway .
