I got mine from Moss, and it was sourced these guys - I'd have one on every car!

Including the Midas?

[craigr91]

There's a big difference in price from moss to these :)

Yup, my Dad got one this year in a group buy with the owners club

Me too

I've got one in the GTM and it's fine apart from one thing - the screen is so much wider at the bottom than the top that there's a big wedge down either side with no elements. Nothing whatso to do with the supplier or manufacturer it's just the shape of the screen and the way the elements have to be installed.

I've also got one that never got fitted to an RS200 before I got rid still sat on top of the wardrobe in my spare bedroom. If anyone happens to know someone with an RS200 or MkI Sierra who wants one cheap....

I got one from mini sport, i suspect sourced from here!

I got the tinted clear on (not the monte carlo). it is fitted but not wired up yet.

Screen appears to be good quality, they have an almost invisible heating element running through the screen, pretty neat!

I used to have a Ford and it was with very fine wires in the glass, are these the same? if so I want one now.

Edited: What is the current draw?

Maybe they would do a group buy if there were enough to buy some?

[minisilverbullet]

maybe you see the element - the silver strip is hidden by the windscreen rubber.

Bloody hell they've gone up in Moss. I got mine a couple years back and I could have sworn I got mine sub £100 after discount, certainly no more than £130 or I wouldn't have been able to justify it!

[Midas Mk1]

Flipping heck! Just looked at moss, got mine two years ago and it was around £130!! It's definately from this place, it has the website etched into the bottom corner :)

Correct
Not sure about Moss though, but these are the screens sold by MiniSport.

They are like the one minisilverbullet posted, with the silver buzzbars, like said, ain't these hidden with the rubber anyways? Di they actually work with just the heated element on the outside? My mini is a nightmare now ice is here, freezes up inside and everything.... Cheers

yeah hidden by the rubber. if you check carefully in my second picture you can see the threadlike element, this runs vertically through the screen.
