I have a full screen and full cage, no doors and no hood. The hammering from wind is no joke. So far the options seem to be ..........half hood, half doors and Caterhams own wind deflectors. Anyone have any experienc of the best combination? Don`t want to wear a helmet or goggles so full screen stays (don`t fancy a brick in the face!!). Given the sunny days are upon us I`d rather no hood. Can`t find a pic` of the wind deflectors on a car.

I take it you can't fit normal doors because of the cage? Thumbs up for the half hood, but you might want to go for the Easy Open option on the driver's side; it would make life a lot easier with half-doors fitted and cuts down a lot of the bufeting that normally comes over the top of the screen. Had a look when collecting mine and it does seem very well made and designed; as theres a velcro flap that seals itself down over the zip. And FAR easier to fit in a hurry than the standard hood.
Yep, the Easy Open option looks good. Are you saying that a lot of the bufeting goes with just the half doors and no hood??......ie, sunny day, full screen, half doors.......JOB DONE??

All good stuff and very helpful. To be honest don`t intend being out in the wet too often. The half doors sound a neat and easy fix for the sunny blat with the addition of the half hood ("easy in" option) just in case the rains come. Anybody running this combination?? The full doors may be viable with a full cage but are they SIGNIFICANTLY better re the buffetting?

Cheers Ewen. Looks like it has to be full doors.
