Heated windscreens

I've been in contact with a guy called Stuart at Airedale Race Components recently.
He's looking at doing a run of heated front screens to suit a locost and was wondering about demand.

I understand this isn't a particularly 'low cost' option, but I'd imagine it will get you through the 'de-misting' section of the SVA test, and, in the event of a fit of winter bravado, will de-frost the screen quickly.

Anyway, I said I'd put his name on here to guage the level of interest.

He's looking at having them ready in about 3 months time and was thinking of around or just under £150 - obviously exact quotes are hard to give unless the size of the run is known.
If this idea appeals to you then could you make yourself know to him at:

mail@airedalerace.freeserve.co.uk

and no, I don't work for him or get any discount for doing this....

Will this screen keep my legs warm as well!

The cost may kill this one stone dead mate,i've paid a fiver for a renault 5 heater that will keep me an my window clear.
This leaves me £145 to save for my insurance.
Sorry
