Pins are different spacing pre- and post- facelift.

Thats interesting, I didnt know that !1 So I will need a deflector specifically for a facelift model then ?

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..
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 deflector

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!

Hi Madleemark,

So as not to hijack the thread, could you message me about your wind deflector pls. I need one for a '98 2.8.
