Default Rick's Aero Screen - can you get in the UK

I was doing my "Im a bit bored thing" on the Net and come across this
http://www.ricks2k.com/products/aero.php

which is a larger air defelector for the S2,

And being this forum is a fountain of knowledge for all things S2
just wondering the following:
- Is it any good, has anybody out there had persoanl experience of these etc.
- Where I can get one in the UK.

E-gards

I don't have personal experience of this particular item, but I have ordered from Rick's before and not had any problems... Just order it online and it will arrive from the USA soon...

Thanks for the info on that, Im always a bit cagey about oredering from US web sites as they dont always like shipping to Europe.

Rick will happily ship to the UK (as he has done for many members on the board). Why not send him an email first:

information@ricks2k.com

OR.......

If you fancy chancing it on eBay there is one here!

I've had three!

1st one came fitted to the car and shattered at the base because I took the vibration pretection strips off! :banghead.
I got a new and refitted it sold it with my old car.
I've got a new one wating for me to dismantle the OEM one and glue it in!

A few tips!

1) Get a 7/8ths one. A full height one catches the roof if you lower it with the aero screen lowered. One of them will come off worse! 7/8ths one doesn't clash (so I'm advised!!)

2) DON'T use superglue to put it in to the holder. The fumes mark the screen and turn it milky white in patches

3) DO put the vibration protection on it may not look pretty but neither does a shattered aero screen.
