try a one man band windscreen comany..they will be far cheaper than anywhere else..if you as for heated it will be green tint..doubt any1 will have a bronze heated in stock as they are like rocking horse shit...the suppliers may be able to get you a green with top tint on special order if you ask..

Do it through your insurance. It's usually a £50-£75 excess to pay and it doesn't effect your no claims

Is it hard fitting these to a model that didn't originally have one, does the loom already have the connections for it?

The loom? is it an extra bit or do you need to change the standard loom?
