Thanks Rich,

That's three interested parties, It is interesting that two of the people have previously purchased a HFS before and now require one for a spare and one as a replacement for a chipped heated screen. Everyone who has fitted a HFS reports how much more drivable their cars are! Giving there cars that modern feel. My wife has just got a new Ford and it is worth buying a Ford just for the screen! In the recent inclement weather it was a boon!

sounds great!

Anything to modernize the running gear and comforts has to be a plus.

How many kit cars can boast a heated front screen!

I did one winter with a normal screen and the car was virtually undriveable with the crap demisters, condensation problems and no garage. I now live in fear of our second world roads and yet another smashed screen.

I've been lucky this year, only ruined one rim and tyre. I bust two last year.

On many of the roads round here you get the option of hitting the pot hole or the oncoming car that's occupying the rest of the road.

There are now interested parties for five front screens and four rear screens, all subject to final pricing.

Six plus a first reserve!!!

Its interesting that two of the original purchasers and with screens installed, are wanting a spare screen to put into stock. They must be a good product

So much so I can't imagine the Midas getting used half as much without it.
