Stylus + Fury - heated screen

I'm looking to get a heated windscreen for my Fury; I've found a couple of firms who will do one, the catch being a minimum order quantity of 10 units. Anyone else interested? Got to be the neatest way to get a demist function for SVA, price seems to be £165 + VAT but should be able to get a discount if we can get a batch of 10 ordered.
Failing that, anyone got a heated screen (OE fitment on S3/S4 elan) going spare?

When I was building mine I wanted to go down this route and on a couple of occations people tried to get a bulk order together. It always fell though because the numbers weren't great enough initially and while waiting for extra interest, others had to drop out and just go with a normal screen. Some people offered to buy 2 and keep the second one to sell on later and it still didn't work.
Best of luck to you but thought I'd better point out the problems.

No help to you I know, but I have one in my Fury - A guy local to me wanted one so much he bought 10 & sold the other 9 on eBay. I thought it would only get used the once - at SVA - but in fact I had to use it a few times in the autumn, it works better than the "caravan heater" I put in the Ranger to boost the heater (in fact it works better than the Ranger heater) & is obviously much lighter than a heater.
What I'm saying here is, if you can get an order together, it's worth the effort.

I had this place bookmarked (
http://www.heatedwindscreen.com/acatalo ... reens.html) for when I finally get to the stage where I need a windscreen, but as the price is identical to what you mentioned, I suspect you've seen it already! Alteratively, have you spoken to Chris at BGH?

Hi Matt, T and Adi,
Thanks for the replies; that was one of two companies I spoke to earlier in the week, who wanted a minimum order of 10. I spoke to Chris @ BGH today; apparently the cost makes the heated screen pretty un-appealing, most people preferring to fit electrical heaters, specifically the one from Carbuildersolutions (code DEMST) which is only £22. Looks like I'll either be going down this route or trying to get decent demist from the camping-hairdryer bodge thats already in place. Unless 9 other people want to pop out of the woodwork and order heated screens
Thanks again for the feedback....
Rob
