Heated front screen

[Edd]

Thinking of getting a heated front screen,

Where's the best place to get one from?

How much do they go for nowdays?

Do they come top tinted?

Thanks in advance, Edd

[L14MNP]

Cool
Start another GB on here
£170 rings a bell?
Yes
HTH (lol)

[Jack]

I <3 my heated screen. Bought it as part of the group buy on here a while back, was considerably less than £170. Worth every penny though.

You can get top tint, but there wasn't enough interest on the last GB. Since then though, a few people have mentioned them, so it might be worth seeing if anyone else would want in.

[L14MNP]

I forget Nova prices, well VX in general are less than the norm! lol

[Edd]

Cool
Start another GB on here
£170 rings a bell?
Yes
HTH (lol)
Start another gb ??? I don't understand, sorry.

Hth ????

[Jack]

Group Buy

Hope This Helps

[Stanley]

GB - Group buy

HTH - **** knows!

[Stuart]

was it the manufacturer thatw as contacted directly for the last GB?

I want one for my VX, but im fecked if I'm paying £350 for one!!! (yes thats the going rate)

[Jack]

£350, yoiks!

I think Welsh Dan set up the last one?

[Edd]

Which company sell them then?

[Jack]

Found the old thread, it was Spanishfly set it up

http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103351&highlight=heated

[edit] Welsh Dan did try one before though. Have a look in that thread for details

[craig green]

Which company sell them then?

uro glass. I told you. ;)

http://www.uroglas.com/heated.html

[Riggy]

im tempted to sell my heated screen , as i bought it when it was my daily car , now it only gets used in good weather i really dont need it lol

[Edd]

uro glass. I told you. ;)

http://www.uroglas.com/heated.html

I forgot mo fo !

[MARTIN KELSON]

I too would like a heated screen as i have now removed all blowers & heaters from Nova so if it rains i'am f*cked at clearing the screen!

Have to be top tint though to keep it as how Mr Vauxhall intended my car.

If a GB starts i'am in!

Martin

[Welsh Dan]

http://www.heatedwindscreen.com/acatalog/vauxall-heated-windscreens.html

He can get top tint ones but needs a minimum order of 10 with payment up front. Ricky is a top bloke to deal with.

[Graeme]

If a group buy goes ahead, I'd like to be considered for a top tint

[wwmnw]

Would it be cheaper in a group buy as the one in the site link is 165 (excluding VAT, inc VAT it would be 189) if it was 130-150 inc VAT I would be in, if not then I wouldn't as my budget is very low.

[srs1]

can all of you PLEASE check with your insurance companies!

if you are fully comp, check if they will let you find your own replacement front windscreen.
I did, bought the heated screen and posted off the reciept. got my money back bar the £50 windscreen excess.

SO IT'S WORTH LOOKING INTO.

note its not worthwhile if you are with Admiral :(

[sparkie1401]

i would be interseted in a heated front screen for my nova with a top tint though

how does it work? as in how does it turn on /off ?

would it be wired to the rear screen switch?

[Stuart]

you can wire it how ever you want.

Some put a timer relay on the sidelight switch so when you turn on the side lights the screen demists. Others put a simple toggle switch to relay to screen to have it on all the time. You could wire it to the heated rear screen relay if you wanted to.

[sparkie1401]

cheers stu

lights or rear screen me thinks, dont like extra non factory switches!

very interested though

[Graeme]

I've added a cav rear screen switch next to the rear fog switch for a factory look

[sparkie1401]

I've added a cav rear screen switch next to the rear fog switch for a factory look

good thinking Graeme, but ive already got a factory front fog switch there!

dratts lol

[Welsh Dan]

I powered mine using a pair of relays, one for each side, but I took the relay feed from the position III output on the fan switch, so when I put the fan on max it came on, but would stay on until I turned the fan off completely.

[sparkie1401]

so who wants one of these ? top tints need 10 orders

im going to call this rick tommorow

[MARTIN KELSON]

If you can get top tint at right price i'am in

Martin

[sparkie1401]

well welsh dan says we need GB of ten to get top tint?

id prefer this,i wanna know how they fit if any different to a standard screen, and if i need to ugrade the stock altenator etc etc

[Jack]

id prefer this,i wanna know how they fit if any different to a standard screen, and if i need to ugrade the stock altenator etc etc
No and no.

[AlexW]

Its just the same as a rear screen, dont see people upgrading there alternator for sound systems.

Id love to know where this myth that if its anything other than standard needs a bigger battery/alternator comes from.

[wwmnw]

I am interested to know how much the top tint will be but at this moment in time I haven't got the money to place an order.

[Jack]

Its just the same as a rear screen, dont see people upgrading there alternator for sound systems.

Id love to know where this myth that if its anything other than standard needs a bigger battery/alternator comes from.
Competition grade equipment requires bigger alternators usually due to having more batteries etc. But yeah, as for the average halfords special gear, the standard kit will be fine.

[sparkie1401]

thats 3 people who are intersted.

im pleased ifs its no and no Mr RJ

[Jack]

im pleased ifs its no and no Mr RJ
Mmhmm, aside from the wires poking out, the fitment is the same as a std windscreen. We just tucked these into the rubber and had them poke out at an opportune spot. Fit was excellent, no leaks or anything.

I can't 100% vouch for the alternator as obviously I have a stonking great 3.0 130A jobber on mine lol but I'm sure others who have them fitted needed no additional alternator work.

[sparkie1401]

cheers RJ

cant remember what the stock GTE 16v alternator is, think its 70A?
but it was just something the electrician said!

ref the fit, just was worried having already had the bodywork done

[Jack]

Yeah, 70A.

[Graeme]

I'm very interested if the group buy for the top tints goes ahead

[Edd]

Il do some more enquiries on Friday and post back on this thread.

Think we need ten people to place a order.

[Pistol Pete]

We had 10 in the last GB that Alonso set up. Got the screens from Ricky Evans. Was a top service. Massive box mind lol

[sparkie1401]

please list names of who wants what
top tint makes no difference on price i recedntly spoke with rick

problem is every one will want different tints, unless we just all have the factory greeny/blue top tint

if we all disagree we'll never get ten orders

[Edd]

Yay! Someone even more keen than me to get a group buy sorted!

Il start,

Edd, top tint

[Jon_nova1]

do we have a price for these yet?

[MARTIN KELSON]

Martin - top tint (std Vauxhall Nova Colour!)

Thats Two

[scott.parker]

Well as i had mega misting probs going to PV with the rain i have been thinking about one of these for a while now, so im in, also i would be for it fitted as it's only 40min drive (would be same for you Martin)

[sparkie1401]

Guys thats half way

we need ten, and i spoke with Rick, who welsh dan recommended, top tint is no extra cost, £165 + VAT

deposit required only to get the ball rolling, payment upon collection

he says delivery is available but not cheap as its glass it is insured, normally couriers dont insure glass hence it'll be expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Iain]

£165+VAT is normal price?! How is the group buy saving any money?

[sparkie1401]

Scott im pretty sure he said he didnt fit, but its same as a standard screen, and he said it wants its own switch (LED type recomended) and needed 2 relays so i asssume 1 for each side of the screen

i suppose it wont hurt to ask if ten screens at once gets us some discount????

[sparkie1401]

£165+VAT is normal price?! How is the group buy saving any money?

its a group buy to get a top tint

we need to ask if we can get some pennies off

[Edd]

Standard nova top tint for me also.

Ricky Evans Motorsport in Tamworth. I tried to organise a buy about a year ago but we didn't get the numbers. If you want top tint ones from him, you'll need to order 10 top tint ones.

I had mine fitted by Ricky in Tamworth, top bloke, he even fixed the retraction on my sunroof.

Details from my enquiries etc.. (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88045)

Thats why i said fitted mate.

Scott

[Edd]

Let's hope we can get a few more people to buy one then we can get this sorted out.

Where would collection be from?

[scott.parker]

As above, Tamworth mids.

[sparkie1401]

so we have 5 defos?

i read that scott, but he said on the phone to me he didnt fit???????

ill re check monday when i call

Questions
1) do you fit?
2) does ten GB = discount

[sparkie1401]

wwnmw and jon nova1 need a price and there arms twisting to make it a possible 7 for the GB

and does iainel want one?

[Graeme]

Does anyone have an approx figure?

[sparkie1401]

£165 + vat @ 15%

£189-75:mad:

hopefully 10-15% off with GB but who knows

[Graeme]

I hope they are a bit cheaper than that, I collect anyones who is on my return route for a few beer tokens if all goes well with the gb

[sparkie1401]

I hope they are a bit cheaper than that, I collect anyones who is on my return route for a few beer tokens if all goes well with the gb

i hope so to, £160 all in would be ok

ive PM'd you

[Graeme]

That sounds alot better to me, replied

[wwmnw]

I wont have that kind of money ready, saving up for cams, block bored out, bottom end shells etc, sorry.

[sparkie1401]

I wont have that kind of money ready, saving up for cams, block bored out, bottom end shells etc, sorry.

:( :cry: :(

[scott.parker]

Well he was offing them cheaper on group buy before, group buys not worth doing otherwise! lol

And im not buying one then trying to fit it my self, unless anyone wants to help, don't think i can do it on my own!

[Iain]

I've only removed mine and not tried to refit, but I don't think it'll be too difficult Scott. Most of the stories about cracking them are on removal.

[Graeme]

I'd just ask at my local windscreen place if anyone will do a 'foreigner'. I'm sure it won't cost more than twenty quid

[mayhem]

Well he was offing them cheaper on group buy before, group buys not worth doing otherwise! lol

And im not buying one then trying to fit it my self, unless anyone wants to help, don't think i can do it on my own!

its very easy, i never had a glassguy fit any of my windows.
1 guy in the car pulling the string, and onother on the outside keeping pressure on the window.

if youre using a new rubber it will be a b!tch though

[Jack]

I'd just ask at my local windscreen place if anyone will do a 'foreigner'. I'm sure it won't cost more than twenty quid
Bahaha, I asked a load of local fitters round here and the only one to say yes asked for £140 which iirc was more than I paid for the screen lol

Most were too scared in case they damaged it - if it was one they supplied they would just replace it there and then.

[Graeme]

I've done a few myself with the string technique and a friend applying pressure but I'm sure any conpetant windscreen fitter would not be scared fitting it but if I was expecting some one to do it on a back-hander I would hold them responsible if it did go tits up

[sparkie1401]

ive not really looked at the other GB heated screen threads, what did he charge for a GB per window?

[Iain]

I think they were 120+VAT + free fitting in Welsh Dan's thread. Postage is expensive tho.

[Graeme]

I'll happily collect mine and anyone elses thats not too far off my return route to keep costs down

[sparkie1401]

i will do my best for a good price tommorow, i promise

[scott.parker]

i will do my best for a good price tommorow, i promise

Need see about the fitting dude, as it will save me a shed load of ballache and swearing! lol

[sparkie1401]

just spoke with rick and heres the info we all need

Rick NO LONGER FITS as he is on his own now, so no service available

UK domestic delivery is £40 + VAT

this is with Parcel Force Worldwide, the screen is in a very large special/purpose box and is fully insured.

Rick says he has used PF for around 4 years and has had 2 or 3 damages, but basically says check the screen within 24 hours, report any probs if necessary and it will be dealt with, basiclly dontwait a week to unbox it, any probs take digi pictures and he can sort it for you but he said its highly unlikely any problems will arise!

delivery is basically to anything with a UK postcode so inc. N.I and channel islands, same price £40 + VAT

PRICE

if we get a GB the screen should cost £143 INCULDING VAT with toptint
give or take 20p

ive also emailed him so he can check with suppliers to confirm the price 100% and then get back to me, but the above price should be correct he sempt pretty confident about that

if we can get ten defos this week we should be able to get them for Xmas

top work there mate,

lets hope we can ten people who want one.

Edd

[sparkie1401]

yes hopefuly so! i would prefer a top tint

[Nova_Tek]

Is the rest of the windscreen tinted green like all other Vaux glass from that era?

I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in a heated front screen with standard Vaux blue/green top tint.

But I'd also be lying if I said I had the cash to buy one at the mo :cry:

EDIT: Need to analyse my finance (as I'm out of a job atm), and see if I can puppy dog eye my ma, pa & bro into getting an early b'day present.

Maybe we can blag a final discounted mates rates price ;)

[sparkie1401]

early novas had the bronze tint, late had the green, but im pretty certain the rest of the screen is plain clear glass

ill find out

[scott.parker]

Thats a right ****ter! as i wanted to go collect/get it fitted as im close to him, i might call him and see.

Scott

[Nova_Tek]

early novas had the bronze tint, late had the green, but im pretty certain the rest of the screen is plain clear glass

ill find out

Well my Nova has nothing, no bronze no green just clear and it really is just clear, it's a freaking greenhouse :eek:

But I will be light smoke tinting all the glass so don't really matter what tint the new glass has, although I do hope it does have some tint.

May opt into the GB like I said let me know of the final price peeps :thumb:

[Graeme]

I take it the 143 quid isn't including delivery, as I'd prefer to collect mine, the top tint and clear glass works for me, not too bothered about the green tint!

[sparkie1401]

Scott,

thats your call bud, but he said he used to as he had fitters working for him but not now

Nova tek,

the window he supplies is totally clear, motorsport people tend not to want tinted glass

Graeme

yes thats price is screen only

[Nova_Tek]

Scott,
Nova tek,

the window he supplies is totallt clear, motorsport people tend not to want tinted glass

Ok well no worry still interested :thumb:

[Graeme]

That works for me, will be a nice drive down there

[sparkie1401]

right so how many we got? 5 6 or 7 defos?

[MARTIN KELSON]

I'am in for £143 all in.

I would collect as Tamworth not far for me.

Just noticed two windscreen vans living on my estate so may be knocking on theirs doors for a foreigner!!

Delivery xmas is he having a laugh? Thats 13 weeks away, surely not that long to get em?

Martin

[sparkie1401]

im pretty certain thats what he said, as in he's already done his december order hence he could do with getting 10 by the end of the week

[Southie]

Sparkie buy 3 lol you could always sell the others on here afterwards. ;)

[yayoboy]

ill take one too if its got the top tint

[sparkie1401]

Any idea HOW to fit it?

(can just see us in the car park at Ricky's place fitting it! lol)

Im going to do as Sean said, I'll ask my insurance about seeing if i can source a glass supplier, then they might cover the difference over a standard screen etc?

Scott

[Graeme]

I'd definately try the professional route first but the method I have always used is some thick string or alarm cable pushed into the rubber, with the rubber on the screen and then put it in place apply a little pressure and pull the string towards the centre of the screen which then pulls the rubber over the lip of the bodywork, I've always been successful fitting them with this method and not had a breakage yet

pmed back, as said i don't get paid till the 6th and got funds going out already i don't want to commit till i know what i have left unless full payment isn't due for a few months (i read december they'll be ready and payment on collection excluding deposit?)

got banned by Spudly, and bad negged him for doing it, so see you in a few days boys and girlslol

[Nova_Tek]

When are the screens likely to be ready?

I have blagged the family to chip in for a b'day present (Nov) so it should be all good.

Just need to know/discuss payment options :thumb:

[Graeme]

I'm hoping its deposits at first then, full payments when they are ready, Sparkie will no doubt have the answers

[Southie]

Just thought I'd mention that Sparkie is away for a week with work, Geneva I think he said. PM me if you've got any questions and I'll try and pass them on.

Cheers

hi Ricky

assuming we get ten orders for the windscreens to get the top tints

please confirm the following:

how long they would take to get to you (approx) from point of ordering


is it deposit first then final/full payment on collection/confirmation of
delivery

how much deposit do you want

regards Mark

[Graeme]

Still works with me mate

[Southie]

Hope you all get sorted as I know Mark really want this to work.

Oh your online lol

[sparkie1401]

guys if we cant get ten, are we just gonna try for discount on normal glass w/o top tint?

you can get it tinted i suppose

[Nova_Tek]

30 % of £155 = £46.50 which would leave a final cost of £108.5 + delivery (for me)

ok Im in as I'm 98% sure (as my B'day is only 3 weeks away so family are chipping towards it as a B'day pressie yay!) also want standard vaux toptint :thumb:

Can payment be made via PayPal?

[Edd]

I take it then we have to have ten for the top tint ?

I would really prefer a top tint tbh.

[scott.parker]

"IF" We don't get enough,and the discounts not much then im out, I don't use the car enough to validate putting that money toward the screen.

TBH i could do with using the money on getting it setup, as it's not ruining right at the moment.

Scott

[MARTIN KELSON]

"IF" We don't get enough,and the discounts not much then im out, I don't use the car enough to validate putting that money toward the screen.



Scott

I'am with Scott on this.
Gotta be top tint to keep glass looking factory also.

How many we got now 7?
Sure the supplier would rather honour 30% discount on 7 screens than say no & get nothing.

[sparkie1401]

fair comment boys, i to would prefer a top tint but will go without if necessary?

you can get it tinted yourself, so rick told me

hence if we dont get ten i think we should all do it, in all fairness scott our cars aren't exactley factory anyway

[Welsh Dan]

I'am with Scott on this.

How many we got now 7?
Sure the supplier would rather honour 30% discount on 7 screens than say no & get nothing.

Top tint are special order for him, and for special orders he has to order in a minimum quantity of 10.

He got screwed over by a Cavalier club a few years ago so now he'll only special order 10 screens or more once they're paid for.

[Nova_Tek]

We need a recount of who's in, Im sure we could get another couple people involved. For me the top tint is uber important and the fact that it's heated is the extra for me. It's worth getting both features for this price hence why I'm in the group buy.

[Graeme]

I'm with Edd, must be top tinted, don't want a poverty looking front screen just to have it heated

[Nova_Tek]

^^ Agreed with Edd and Graeme top tint is v.important, for me having it heated is a good bonus.

[twin40s]

if theres 10 people how much is the screen gonna be heated and top tint?

sorry is this right and how much is postage?

[Nova_Tek]

AFAIK that is the correct price and IIRC the postage is £40. Mr. Sparkie should be able to confirm the sums.

[Southie]

Sparkie is away AGAIN but had a word with him, and wondered if any of you thought it was a good idea if to ask on MIG if anyone is interested!

I never really use MIG but if any of you are, then maybe worth asking.

[Nova_Tek]

confirmed
Nice one Jon. Just need to see if Scott is still interested.

[scott.parker]

Humm would be if it's cheaper, but it's just not cheep enough to splash out on, as i cant say i use the car enough for it...

Im undecided, the deciding factor is/was no fitting on site.

Scott

[Nova_Tek]

Just think of it like this, when you use the car in winter then you wont need to demist the front windscreen with your hand/piece of used tissue you found in your car/dirty rag/your jumper lol

[Jack]

Dan, assuming thats a nova, whats the headlight setup there? Light output looks pretty good.

As said, the heated screen was the best money I spent on my Nova :d

Excellent :thumb:

6000K 35W Bi-Xenon HID's in nova mk1 headlamps Jack.

What kit is it you have? They look pretty good unlike some HID kits.

[scott.parker]

My Shammy has done OK so far! But i don't use the car much (once a month)

As said I'll think about it, as it's the fact there is not a big discount, nor the fitting side of it.

[Welsh Dan]

What kit is it you have? They look pretty good unlike some HID kits.

I sold them to Adam, but they were from one of the popular hong kong ebay sellers about 2 years ago.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HID-XENON-CAR-DE-KIT-BIXENON-DUAL-BEAMS-H4-H-L-6000K-fr_W0QQitemZ120480669863QQcmdZViewItemQQptZFR_JG_A uto_Tuning?hash=item1c0d3520a7

thats the same kit I had. But I strongly reccomend filling the terminals on the ballasts with dielectric grease because water got into the terminals on mine and caused me some problems (read: I got stuck at Ellesmere Port one night with no lights). Once I cleaned up and sealed the terminals they were fine.

[brake-dust]

stick me down for one ;)

Any idea if they pass MOT?

[Welsh Dan]

Any idea if they pass MOT?

Unlikely. The beam patterns weren't spot on, they were close though and didn't dazzle oncoming traffic. I took them out just to be sure, although they were declared to the insurance company.

[that farmer]

if this is still happening im in need of heated front screen so this would b really usefull as my nova has no heater at all its not on the road yet but as soon as it is i will moan about the screen misting up!

[Nova_Tek]

stick me down for one ;)

Heated front screen with top tint I assume? No problem! :d :thumb:


if this is still happening im in need of heated front screen so this would b really usefull as my nova has no heater at all its not on the road yet but as soon as it is i will moan about the screen misting up!

Yes mate it's still trying to happen. We need minimum of ten people interested so we can get a discount and a toptint heated screen.

Updated list as follows if I'm not mistaken (amend if I am):

1)sparkie1401 (top tint)
2)Nova_Tek (top tint)

5)Martin Kelson (top tint)
6)Jon_nova (top tint)(payday is nov 3rd)
7)brake-dust (top tint)
8)that farmer (top tint)
9)Daftjohn (top tint)

just one more then !!

[DAFTJOHN]

What tint is the screen? I need the bronze tint with top tint

[Nova_Tek]

I think the screen itself is non tinted but the top tint is vauxhall's standard blue top tint

[Southie]

For the tenth one as it seems that it maybe difficult to get one more, why not go 9ths on it and re sell on eGay. :)

[Nova_Tek]

I'm sure we can get one more person to show interest. Saves the hassle of someone trying to sell it on.

[Southie]

Just a thought mate. ;)

[Nova_Tek]

I know :) Mine was a counter thought lol

[scott.parker]

So what is the final "discounted" price we get these for if we buy in 10?

[Nova_Tek]

Yes £155 inc vat for ten orders

£40 delivery any where in UK

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

[sport]

What is the glass clear or tinted(green or bronze) and does it have the top tint?

[Nova_Tek]

I asked this question and from what I understood only the top part of the screen is tinted. The rest is clear. Such a shame they couldn't drop a bit of green tint to the rest of the screen. That would deffo be the ultimate windscreen lol

[sport]

Damn could have been intrested if it was completely clear, no top tint.

[DAFTJOHN]

I'll take one if it's got the bronze tint on the main of the screen and additional top tint but reading the recent updates it's a clear screen. If they can be supplied with bronze tint I'll take one but as it is I'll leave it.

Ta

[scott.parker]

Damn could have been intrested if it was completely clear, no top tint.

Im sure you could have a clear one in this order, as it would make it cheaper etc?

OK, so when are these looking to be orderd?

Scott

[Edd]

Asap hopefully, think we still need one more person tho.

[twin40s]

I want 1 delivered please top tint.

[sport]

Im sure you could have a clear one in this order, as it would make it cheaper etc?

[sparkie1401]

hello all im back for a few days (nov 3rd) sorry not been able to get on line, happy to see we up to 9 definates with a possible 11 required with maybe daftjohn and scott.parker

[sparkie1401]

What is the glass clear or tinted(green or bronze) and does it have the top tint?

the screen is clear

and we want ten orders to gain a factory blue top tint

[sparkie1401]

Right This Is Very Important Read The Next Post

Good News

[Southie]

Whats the good news????

[sparkie1401]

I have just spoke with Ricky Evans ref the heated front screens

Good news, 9 yes nine is enough for a group buy(GB) so please lets not go all gay and fukk this up between us

we all need to pay 30% of the total price to secure a windscreen (£155)

unfortuynately ricky will not be ordering any more stock untill early/mid december as he has to fill a shipping container (they coming from the far east) and they will arrive mid to late january 2010

i dont see this as a big problem as i still have a windscreen in my car, and i hope this doesnt make people change there mind as to say ill be disappointed will be being polite

the top tint will be OE blue as discussed and clearly stated by myself earlier in the thread

i will PM all the 9 definates when ive typed this post

i will expect everyone to contact ricky and pay the 30% deposit within the next week (£46-50 required)

i will email him the 9 members who want a screen user names, just confirm your user name with him upon payment and then confirm on the thread you've paid so all involved will be aware whos up to date and whos keeping him waiting

im going to pay today/tomorow

01827 283 688 or 07970 597 312

i say lets not let him down as he was badly let down by some cavalier club which he still has all the screens left except the guy who tried to sort the GB in the 1st place, lets give PNG a good name

welsh dan did mention this also about the cav.com club or someone

[Nova_Tek]

:confused:

[brake-dust]

will sort my payment next week when my new card arrives.

cheers

[sparkie1401]

:confused:

please explain why ur sad or confused

[Nova_Tek]

You said read the next post, as there was no post, I replied with the above, I posted the confused face.

With regards to payments does he not have a paypal account we can use?

[sparkie1401]

oh right i was busy writing it, and i type like a bloke, patients fellalol

[sparkie1401]

ive also PM'd other interested parties including

Yayoboy
Scott.parker
sport
daft john

[Nova_Tek]

Well I'm currently abroad so the internet is much cheaper for me to use rather than getting mullered on the mobile costs. Plus it's added security too which is always a nice thing :)

If I pay it will probably be sometime next week as I await B'day monies, kaching! ;)

[sparkie1401]

ok but lets just sort payment and user name with him and confirm on here

i will start the ball rolling and pay today

and also confirm paypal for you bud

mmmmmmmmmmm boobies

[Nova_Tek]

Cheers pal, hopefully he has will be so much easier (for me) :thumb:

[sparkie1401]

[that farmer]

as i said im sorry to mess this about im in the middle of jobs and iv just had to mot and tax my van, no i cant scrounge anything!

[twin40s]

so again we are f@ucked

[twin40s]

Is there any point me sending cheque if there is only eight again?

[Welsh Dan]

You could all cover his deposit if you're desperate.

[twin40s]

well i ain't

[sparkie1401]

well we have till decemeber to get all deposits in really but i want it sorted asap

can you sort it for then farmer???????? its not a huge amount?

come on guys stay positive we are far from ****ed, need to pull together not bitch

[scott.parker]

Hummm, here's a thought, would we be able to find some one to do a group fitting?? lol

Im still miffed about that part, as it's mega money to get them fitted etc.

Still sat on the fence, as i want my car mapped, more then i need a screen...

[Edd]

No problem with the deposit for me.

Cheque in the post tomorrow.

Edd

[sparkie1401]

scott i think you will get i t fitted cheap enough mines getting fitted free

if you have half an idea how to fit it then nova screens must be amongst the easiest

but we really need to know if your in or out bud?

[MARTIN KELSON]

Hummm, here's a thought, would we be able to find some one to do a group fitting?? lol

Im still miffed about that part, as it's mega money to get them fitted etc.

Come on Scotty it cant be that hard to find someone to fit screen.
Just flag down next time you see a 'Autowindscreens' van & offer some cash for a foreigner.
Shame your so far from me as i have two windscreen vans on my estste & my brother-in-law works for Furrows Ford who have windscreen fitters, so sure i can find somebody to fit mine.

Martin

[Graeme]

I'll sort mine next week, I take it it will be returned in full if the gb goes tits up?

[Edd]

I take it it will be returned in full if the gb goes tits up?
this has crossed my mind.

lets stay positive tho, and hope everybody sticks to their word.

[Graeme]

I'd really like it to go ahead but wondered if there was going to be a handling charge from him if a few pull out as alwaly happens on a most g.b's

I'll pay for mine in full tomorrow if it helps

[sparkie1401]

graeme ill double check but if he doesnt get the 9 deposits then he wont put them in his december order so i cant see why he wouldnt refund them but to be 100% ill ask

[Graeme]

I'd really rather have the screen than the money tbh, I'll give him a cheque which he can cash when they are all present and correct if he'd prefer

[sparkie1401]

no graeme

just post him a cheque for £46-50 asap confirming your user name

then confirm on this thread youve paid , and when they arrive pay in full

id have paidtoday but trying to be helpful im waiting 4 nova tek to paypal me so i can pay deposit for us both

and ive told him im away tuesday so i should have paid by then

[sparkie1401]

MORE IMPORTANT NEWS

just spoke with Ricky (again) on his day off

we need to get the deposits(cheques) to him by the end of November so he can place them in his december shipping order

IF, that word again IF the GB fails and it really shouldnt if we stop messing about he will send the cheques back to you

So to recap

we need 9 deposits sent to ricky evans motorsport asap

LATEST end of November 2009 but preferably tommorow rather than posting it on the 27th or deciding on the 17th that your aunt fannies cat needs a new scratch post or a squeeky mouse

send the cheque with a note confirming your PNG user name
(user name on rear of the cheque also)

S.A.E so he can send the cheque back if need be (stamped addressed envelope)

Come on people

as soon as Nova tek has paid me via paypal im posting our cheque and ive told NT that needs to be before tuesday, and hopefuly edd will be confirming the payment sent

[Nova_Tek]

^^ Sounds proper fair lads

Should be no reason not to be able to send that £46 cheque. I fully understand that some of us maybe having some cashmoney difficulties, me also somewhat included, but its only £46 and it gives you approx 2 months to find another £105 (just dont buy a couple people xmas gifts, or don't use your xmas money on other stuff, sorted!) lol

I missed the last GB of the heated screen really don't wanna miss this one, as a newly painted Nova + brnad new limited edition screen with lovely toptint = MINT!

[sparkie1401]

hurry with paypal then NT;)

im away tuesday till minimum december 2nd and if i cant get on line im fooked, and will be p1ss3d if this GB goes t1ts up

"put me down for one"

daftjohn confirmed yaesterday he was out as the mainscreen was clear
wwmnw has just confirmed he is struggling to aford one
cheers for replying guys

Yayoboy has not responded to my PM from yesterday even though he was on line over an hour after i sent it him, come on mate either way just say yes or no so the Thread is aware of your intentions

ive also pm'd Brake dust as his last post was about waiting for his new card for payment, this was before i realised Ricky wanted deposits by cheque

so i assume all are up to date

come on guys we are nearly at the finishing line and as you can see im 100% serious my switch is in and the parts currently in holland getting the Carbon treatment

[sparkie1401]

Benn Lee H

its £155 all in

£40 for UK delivery

and for fook sake the deposit is £46-50

stop confusing the threadlol peoiple be thinking its getting more expensive and drop out

also benn your car deserves a Heated screen:thumb:

[Benn]

So 155+ 40 delivery? Would love on but cant spend 200notes on a screen..

[sparkie1401]

dont then fetch it and steal some petrollol

seriuosly though aint no one from your area in the thread, joint pick up????????

off topic did you get southie?NBC's pm ref the No. plate light?

[Benn]

No one close to me, where do they come from and yeah he's done it.

[sparkie1401]

they are in tamworth which is on M42 kinda NE of birmingham

so hopefully you have not sent it, but tahnks anyways

[Benn]

Yeah bit far for me, If there wasn't the huge deilvery i'd prob have one.

How well do these work?

[sparkie1401]

pass?

the factory ones ive come across in ford are aewsome, and ricky says the fillaments in the screens are designed /manufactured by one company, this company do all the factory screens, so they should be the dogs kn0b

[Benn]

I'm very temped. Looking in to collection to save funds. Is there a end date?

[Benn]

If i want one, whats the turn around on them?

[Welsh Dan]

How well do these work?

Fapping brilliantly! There's a vid I put up earlier in the thread, and its in my project log aswell, but it really doesn't do it justice. De-icing and de-misting is an absolute breeze. I'd struggle to buy another car without one.

[Jon_nova1]
