different "cheaper" tint option?

paxton · 14-05-2006, 10:23

There is a company on flea bay selling "sunshades" for the Fabia. Just wondering if anyone else has them? I won an auction for them last night... but here is a taster of what i might expect on delivery....

the good things i think will be...

Removable in 5 mins

Able to open window whilst sunshades . tint remain in position

Much cheaper than window tints / film

Possibly legal???

privacy

Reduce the heat inside your car by upto 30%

what u think????

MissPiggy · 14-05-2006, 10:26

might just be me-but im thinking they might pop off if you have windows down at high speed?

paxton · 14-05-2006, 10:31

exactly who would open there windows when you have air con. It even says in the manual not to cool the vehicle down by opening the windows, but to use air con instead to stop the cabin becoming polluted from outside.

paxton · 14-05-2006, 10:58

so.. what do u think?

or shall we talk about air con all day? meow!!!! (milk for me)

It kinda depends how well they are supported with the windows down. I'd imagine you wouldn't want to lower the rear windows too far if you have your front ones down at speed, but then I wouldn't have them down at too high a speed anyway

Might be a good alternative to pull-down blind-type ones, the fit looks good at first glance but when you get them, bring on those pics

Not sure I'd have the rear window blocked with them personally unless I was parked up but to keep the sun out they look good

paxton · 14-05-2006, 15:07

pics to come.....

Anders · 01-06-2006, 12:10

cheezemonkhai · 01-06-2006, 14:33

Had similar built into the parcel shelf of an older car for the rear window.

Most excellent and definately kep the heat out. Mine were grey inside and white on the outside.

Anders · 04-06-2006, 21:05

Any progress on those pics, mate?

paxton · 05-06-2006, 13:07

tonight.... have taken them, but had bbq yesterday, and work today - promise tonight.

Fabia 12v · 05-06-2006, 15:15

does this person do them for other makes of cars?

Anders · 05-06-2006, 19:23

Go take a look at this site - and contact the company for info on other makes and models.

http://www.oeeurope.com

Found a onlineshop selling them to, but it seems to have closed down in the last couple of months... ?

paxton · 05-06-2006, 19:26

ok... here are the pics

paxton · 05-06-2006, 19:31

the firm hasnt closed... but from the sounds of it they are thinking about selling direct to dealers. I paid £46, but they are planning on selling to skoda for £60, and let skoda sell them for whatever they want.

Maybe they would accept a GB from Briskoda?

It cools the car down a hell of a lot - and blocks people from seeing if you have left something on the back seat!

new website will be www.oesunshades.com

mdk1 · 05-06-2006, 19:55

I like the look of them, would be intrested in some.

Anders · 06-06-2006, 12:59

I like them too. Will get a kit for my estate next month. My doughter will apr them. Love your car. Wish I could get a vRS, but they are expensive here in Norway, and I need the space of the estate. So I will have to stick with my mpi
