Violet Elizabeth Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Pondering which screen to get with an SLR cage. Dinky little perspex "race" ones or carbon aero ? Or something else ? Obviously don't need the central mirror cutout as the mirror will be on the cage, so are there any aeros without this ? Thanks.

Mike Bees Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 If passengers aren't a consideration then I'd get a single dinky little perspex race one. A full width aeroscreen can obscure your view of the nearside wheel if you're hunkered down behind it, which makes the car a little harder to place accurately in left hand bends (IME).

robmar Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 personally being a short arse I have the jpe style smoked perspex screen so I can see through it, with a carbon one I can't see through it and have less visibility all round... you can of course have 2 dinky aero's if you need a passenger....

Slipper man Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I went for the dinky little jobs, which work quite well. The JPE type is a lot more expensive and to me the race screens look better with a cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I'm running the perspex aero , but if I had a choice now I would go for the single transparent race areo for all the reasons above . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 There's a brand-new JPE aeroscreen (smoked perspex type) on Ebay at the mo', was at £50 when I spotted it earlier. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade_runner Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The drivers side was on the car already when I bought it... and it was black, bought the passengers side one from caterham, its on the website as something like "one piece race screen"you can choose left or right the bottom bit was just bare ali, I primed it and just sprayed it with some smoothrite.
