Rainbow conversions do a 3 peice set - windscreen and 2 front windows for 69.99, they are fairly good quality.

Thanks for the advise but the first two sugestions are no good, i had seperate ones for each window, and some home made ones for my old T4 and they were a pain in the bum to put up and didnt look great eather. I want a one peice item that wraps around the outside, just like the genuine Silver Screens one, which are very good, but they are £90!! Does anyone agree that is too much money for a peice of silver material cut to shape?? (VW Tax included of course!)

As with many things camper related you get what you pay for, and they are a similar price for a F**t or a Fjord so there's no 'VW tax included'. The test is to go and make one to the same standard and quality and post it to yourself and see how much change you have.

Sorry i don't agree, if it was just a piece of material cut to shape then why didn't your previous home made ones look great?? The features you have described on your want list are those that come with the genuine silver screens, to get them at a better price you either have to wait and see if they come up second hand online, or though silver screens themselves. i wouldn't hold my breath.

Just got the full insulated one from them, dont mind the price as I have to adapt it slightly due to my LT mirror arms on my van!
