Yes, the pins are 70cm apart on a Facelift model, 75cm on an older one. When I was searching for one for my car a few years ago, they were like Rocking Horse Dung to find! Got one eventually though..Lomoto wrote:Thats interesting, I didnt know that !1 So I will need a deflector specifically for a facelift model then ?Robert T wrote:Pins are different spacing pre- and post- facelift.

On my car, the mounting brackets were already fitted when I removed the plastic covers & looked, but I understand that they're not fitted to all cars. Worth checking, as you may not need to get brackets as well.

yes I have removed the grommets and it looks like there is a tube installed where the pins will slide in, so yes all I require is the actual deflectorlebigmec wrote:Yes, the pins are 70cm apart on a Facelift model, 75cm on an older one.

I think you will have to keep searching for a while, I know it took me ages to locate one, but they are around. Good luck!Lomoto wrote:Still not sourced one !
