Got it from good old Ebay mate was just flicking about on there as i could not really afford at the mo to get the jabba style heat shield :no: , but yep that looks like the one :thumbup: there is few others on ebay to but all quite similar tho.

I can't either mate, I'd rather spend the money on a tyre than a sheet of metal. Might pick one of those up I think it looks really good :funk: Was it easy enough to run in your DIY air feed?

Yep should not be a problem, when its not -20 and blowing a gale outside:whistle: I need to have a little play with mine and turn it little more towards the battery cover (make little more room) so I can slip the cold air feed back to wear it was before hand looking on to the jetex again.

Thanks RDS. I know it’s not as good looking as the jabba style ones but does not look to bad tho. :shrug:

I dont know, its not the norm and definately gets the thumbs up from me, £96 for a jabba shield is ridiculous. I may have to grap myself a bargain and purchase one of these. :D

I did earlier, hope the OP doesn't mind someone else copying ;) They look pretty cool in my opinion and no way am I shelling out for a jabba one.

Well last week I took all my door cards off and re-sealed them with the hope it stops the swimming pool I have every time it rains and the damp smell, soooo fingers crossed it works also give it a good clean and took a few pictures..

Should have taken a few more pic's but "DubSteve68" on here did a excellent guide if anyone else has this prob and fancy having a go your self as i did.

Up-Date

Driver’s door seems to be all sorted now... :) but the next thing to sort is… the roof rails that run down the erm….. Roof whipped off down the motorway and snapped, :censored: need this sorting first (new ones and spraying) :banghead:
