Have you seen these very snazzy half height Side-screens? I saw them at Stoneleigh this year and they look great, very good quality. They will also zip onto a Tonneau cover and will fit Aero or Full screened cars. Custom made by a guy called Steve, they are £120.00 a pair plus postage.  If you are interested, you can contact Steve on 07977 867293


Cycle Wings: - Don't fancy splitting your newly acquired cycle wings or seeing the unsightly fixings, then just bond them on. This process is being used more and more in the Sevenesque marquee and some say it is even stronger than the GRP itself.
The adhesive to use is sickaflex, Tigerseal or Loctite 3951. This can be used equally as well on Clamshell type wings too. One drawback though is that once they're on - THEY'RE ON so don't go bumping or knocking them as you will have one hell of a job replacing them again.
