Joss max Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 No worries Mike I had a good hour or so rummaging through that web link i posted lol. I booked marked that. The other thing I try is google image search for such things, but nothing on there. I guess the easy option is to drop into local ford dealers parts dept. They would find it in no time. Give it a shot Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyd1 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think ford call them wind deflectors. And i suppose they also stop stones and that??? The thing is ive seen about 3 out of 10 of mk 3s have them so i dont know why they are only on some have them. I just thought why aint my car got them so i got some. They definently offer some protection from what i dont know lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So im the only petrol moder with them lol I have them on my car and it´s a petrol. Maybe it stops stone chipping on the lower partof the arc but it also helps collect stones and dirt behind it... Always full of dirt and small stones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
