One of mine cracked so i investigated through renault and there no longer avalible. I even went to renault UK HQ near me and they tried resources in france to no joy.

I did win a set on ebay not long ago but i went to fit them and cracked it in the process :rolleyes:

Cheers il prob go for the clim air ones because the quality of their wind deflectors on my fiesta mk6 was good.Just buying little bits like this for when i make the car mint in the future and put new headlights on.They also give off a nice shine by the look of it.

I recognise the protectors on G75 WVU (which looks good I have to say) as the ones that I bought from Renault back in the mid 90's.

They are good and do the job but........

Unless you are careful they can both rub the paintwork and crack when you try and take them off - particularly in the winter when dirt quickly gathers underneath and the acrylic is more brittle.

What I do now is use the paint protection film on all of my cars and vans (One manufacturer is foliatec (http://www.foliatecshop.co.uk/shop/foliatec-paint-protection-film-p-111.html) - although there are others).

The film works on glass (it is optically clear - although you should check with supplier as there are different types) and paint (usually used to protect the bonnet and front bumper from stone chips) and means no dirt behind the protector (so easy to clean) and a lower price. With a warm day (or garage to ensure no dust on the 'sticky' side) and some patience fitting is easy and the protection is almost as good as the old acrylic covers.

They are invisible once fitted and can be cleaned it situ. with the rest of the car.

You will forget they are on - although they can easily be removed if required.
