   Just whack it in google fella theres a couple websites that sell them.
   
   I'm after one myself (106gti), so if you ring them up ask how much it would be for two, see if you can get any discount?

   They aint cheap at around the £250 mark for the screen.
   Cheaper way is to get one of the small light electric heaters,much cheaper

   These are round the corner from where I work
   
   http://www.heatedwindscreen.com/index.html
   
   They aren't listing a saxo one, but there is a 106 one (same thing I belive)
   
   I enquired for Dannygti about a group buy for shed (but it never happened)
   
   These were the prices I got last year

   Hi mate. I went round to Ricky Evans today to get the prices. I found out that this is where plastics4performance get theres from. None in stock at the mo, will be coming in in around 1-2 months. Also checked, s1 106, s2 106 and saxo are all the same screen Prices are 1 only £185+vat 2-9 10% off 10+ 20% off above are collection prices (from Tamworth B77 5DQ) Delivery is £40+vat Someone was asking about how to wire it up. The heating element is split into 2 halves, left and right side. Both sides will need there own relay of at least 30amp plus suitable wiring. And must be wired so it only comes on when the engine is running, otherwised battery will be drained in a few minutes. Simon.

   Vat goes up in the new year so could do with someone organising a group buy before then.
   
   Them prices are the cheapest ive seen yet.
   
   Most want £200-300

    Ford had a patent for heated windscreens but not too sure what this patent covers.
