Firstly, front wind deflectors, something I have wanted on many of my previous cars but never had the pleasure of owning:

Blue fade sunstrip (not chavvy type!) and the line at the bottom where the strip ends is not so visible in the flesh. The camera really picks it up for some reason!!

Although I flippin scratched it so Im now looking for something to reduce scratches in window film if anyone could please help!

And I now also have daytime running lights too, fully E marked and road legal:

Wind deflectors look good, although I find my ZS doesn't suffer with wind, but my Discovery needs them for sure! Strip looks neat. The white on blue is a good theme, it's growing on me.

I have wind deflectors too, on the front and back, not because i have issues with wind, i just think they look cool.

I like the white wheels too, but not keen on all the stickerage. Still, its unique to you which is what matters!

I dont really have a wind problem (with the ZS) but I do have a leak which means constant steaming up so being able to open the windows at any time is a must. Even in the heaviest rain you can still open the windows with them.

Blue and white works so well in my opinion. I love touring cars and love the look of Platos blue and white Chevy Cruze.

I think they look cool too. I wonder if the rear ones make any difference though? Might get some soon

I had a scratch on the rear dark tint, pass window.

I was advised to remove my front window tints!!

When I was there being detinted, I asked the guy best way to cover the scratch. I thought an off cut of the film, stuck on.

He said best bet, was to fill it in with a black marker pen, which I did.

If you have scratched the blue, dont know if a blue marker pen would help.

Worth a bash.

They dont make a 'difference' as such, just completes it imo. Its like having no rear headrests, its like somethings missing. Heres mine with rear deflectors so you know what i mean.

Silly question, but would they fit a hatch (only mention the 4dr)?

IIRC the ZS is identical up to just behind the rear doors... therefore it should yes... however I am not offering any guarentees!

Other than... pop over after I buy mine and see? :p
