Hi I would like to add a Wind Deflector (even if the sun isn't shinning) so what do you recommend. I don't have hoops fitted so I guess it needs to go between the seats? 1.9, 1998. Thanks Terry

You need a non roll bar type wind deflector if you are not in too much hurry im about to purchase a set of roll bars just after xmas so mine will be for sale as i will need the roll bar type. Well worth it makes a massive difference especially at motorway speeds
There are different types of "non roll hoop" deflectors and some have different width mountings.
Spot on, there is the type 1 that I had that is turret mounted and for some reason, two types of type 2 with the mounting pins being in different positions.

I think the 2 different types of type 2 are pre and post face-lift to do with the bigger speakers i think

Im only saying that as i bought @Bozzy one his is a pre face-lift mines a face-lift and it was the speakers that were the problem on mine when i went to fit it
I think you a right as its only a few cm difference between the two and catches people out.
I sold my type one to a member on here and his car is only a year younger than mine but he had to modify the ID of his turrets to get it to fit but luckily the ID was larger rather than smaller.

Yeah mine kinda the same minor mod and it was sorted
I bought the wrong one for my car lol.. so l have a pre facelift one for sale if anyone needs one?
Stick it in the for sale section but quote the distance between the mounting pins.
I have a '96 Z 3. Would it fit mine? Frankie
Most probably not without modification as 96 were turret mounted Type 1.
I have one with BMBabe if you need one Frankie, PM her if you're interested! I think she said £100 but please negotiate with her. I'll let her know also as I have to contact her regarding another matter!! JIM
