Heated front windscreen:

*In that vid I'm using the blowers aswell, without the blowers it takes around 30 seconds to clear when "fully" misted, and about 2 minutes to clear a heavy frost.

I got mine from Ricky Evans Motorsport, top bloke:

Anything that isn't as pricey. just because by the time that you get the old one out and new one in your looking at around £320 for a windscreen.

I had mine fitted for free, but I was attempting to organise a group buy at the time.

Failing that the only option is to use a cloth to get the worst off, and an electric heater to try to keep it clear. I cannot reccomend the heated screen strongly enough.

How did you reach the £320 figure?

I'd be happy to remove a windscreen, basically you pull the seal out, spray water on the adhesive then push. I'd pay someone to fit it though.
