Yeah, that those wind shield / rain guards where optional extra, personaly I don't like the look of them as I think they mess with the profile of the car, but anyway...

I took a look thru the CAPS application and I can't find a part number for them, I would suggest you give either Mitsi Specialists of NI or U-Save Auto a shout, both their details are on the Services page. Jap Autospares in Ashbourne could probably get you one, but they'll charge you for it. Try AA carparts in Enfield as a last option.

I need one of them also. The passenger side is missing leaving a big ugly patch of glue around the window that i cant get rid of. Let me know if you get one or if you want to import a pair.

have you picked up the GPX yet? really want those calipers now - after seeing Cj's the size difference is a lot although feel wasn't that different.

oh, yea and those wheel arch lines are much in need :-)

Careful now!

You won't notice a big diff at lower speeds, the twin pot calipers come into their own with heavy braking @ high speeds...

I was looking into this a few weeks ago as i need one for the drivers door myself, anyway the bad news is that this is a discontinued part so the only chance of getting one is from a breakers

They were an optional extra and very few I have seen have them fitted

I had them on both my cars (GS & GR) but I dunno if they make much difference.

Had them on both mine to but with one missing i know why they are useful, which is if you have your window open and you use the jet washers when the wipers activate the push it to the edge of the window and when traveling at speed

it gets forced into the open window whereas with the rubber rails it gets guided back along the roof,
