Thanks in advance

What the f**k is that saab doing


Didnt Skoda rapides used to have them too?

 

why do you want one jano? like the look or for another reason?

 

I wanna get rid of the back window in the XR3.

Either replace with Perspex which is £100+ or fit no screen with the above (ish) item fitted.

 

+ At the mo it gets foooking hot inside a black motor with no windows or a sunroof.

 

 

i remember them autoplas

 

Jeez ain't seen them for over 20 years!
Every Manta and XR3i round here had them in the eighties!
But please god no
The were shite then!

 

I know i know


But com on worth a try, gotta do summin bout the back window.

 

could you not put holes in side windows? or sliders?

 

I have sliders and vents.

But want to get rid of the back window anyway. Either replace with perspex or something different.

As always id like something different

 

and it still gets hot!


poo



my windows was gonna be solid, might have to have a rethink lol

 

I was in traffic with my door open using it as a fan. This was at night.

The car has no heat issues under bonnet etc.

I was thinking about fitting a roof vent (As below). But its a waste of a tidy non sunroof shell

 

roof vent would look trick,not sure if would suit the mk3 thou

 

Hello Jano, What car is this mate?

 

Esc Cos

 

Any more pics?


Pm me if poss..


Radders

 

Tis a great shell

 

Looks it mate, yours? or a customers?

 

my lips are sealed sorry.

 

np

 

Find this guy:



And ask for a lift back to 1983. Anywhere in Essex should do

Bring me back a Kajagoogoo album will you

 

Who the fcuk ? sorry must be before my time

 

Oh dear god my sides! Think i've done a rib laughing!

 

PMSL!!!

 

Any other links or info on the window louvre would be great.

 

pmsl @ Dr

what is the prob Jano?

 

Problem with what Rick?

 

so for once its not the ford overheating its the driver,.

could u not get some vents in the rear quarter windows (nasa ones as if u were going to have a rear mount rad, then pipe them to the cabin?

 

Why not fit a perspex rear window, and cut slats out it, ala Ferrari F40

 

Rab that was the next step forward.

Just wanted to be a little different.

 

Fair play jano,

I remember those louvre vents. They are very 80s on an standard looking xr3i but I think they would be a nice touch on something like janos black escort.

Good luck in your search.


btw have you tried kenlee and old similar car parts shops? They stock this kind of stuff and you never know might have an brand new one hiding up in their stock rooms somewhere.

 

im gonna be using perspex rear and side windys on the 3dr, bu keeping the glass fronts so i can open them lol

not sure wether to bother with a fan/heater yet tho...

as its been said mate, get a perspex rear and chop holes in it as i think you will have big problems trying to find one of them things for a mk3

 

I think it would look cool too! Probably start a new craze

 

Any other input before the thread dies with no result

 

Maximum Auto Style used to sell these. They advertised back in Fast Ford c.2002 - 2003.

I beleive the company has since ceased trading. I couldn't find an actual company name, so couldn't find out whether they were still active.

I've looked up an old copy and tried their 2 sales lines, but neither line are recognised.

They were carbon fibre look (easily painted ) and sold for £129 inc. VAT.

I looked into all this about 6 months ago as I wanted some for my escort mk6 (they were available!) and found out all the above. Please let us know if you get hold of some!

 

I remeber those from the old days of Ripspeed in Edmonton...

 

Nope I've double checked the date and it wasn't posted on April 1st
