Bought a set of these for the estate. Good quality , good service, would buy from them again, Takes about 10 minutes to fit the clips initially then you can remove/refit them all in about 3 minute

where did u buy them from.

I'm trying to find out who makes them so i can get the briskoda discount

I bought them from the company in the ebay link , Vanstyle of Mansfield. There was a thread on here some time ago about a group buy for these but non sure what happened , may be not enough people for group discount at the time.

i'll have a look and see.

I believe the other ebay link - privacy shades sell them and have their own brand name on the shades

do yours have any brand name? do it say where or who makes them.

I'm wondering if they are the same as Privacy Shades. Whats the quality and durability like on yours?

Edited by fabia55

No brand name but very good quality and no signs of any wear , fit good , no rattles

the ebay link is chaper than going direct as it's free P&P

http://www.vanstyle.co.uk/ are the company and http://www.palmautomotive.co.uk/ are the manufacturer as far as I can tell

i've just e-mailed the e-mail in the seat forum and there is a new manufacturer (the old manufacturer O E Shades went bust)

it says £8.50 p n p in the ebay link??

Depends on the use/worries IMO. They're a great way of providing shade in the back of the car and still allowing some ventilation. Shame they don't seem to do sunblocker kits for the windscreen and fronts whilst parked.

looks like a fabia van in limo black, looks great but it's more permanent. shades still have their advantages though as you can wind the window down and be shaded

it doesn't look like a van at all! sun shades are a cheap skates alternative to window tints!
