Has anyone fitted a wind deflector to a Chimaera. My better half has seen them on other motors and has asked me to find out about one.

your talking about a spoiler, not deflectors.

they fit around the side windows, and help stop wind noise


and will look incredibly stupid on a chim imho

As already said , roof when down doubles as a deflector. Put side windows up for long journeys and you will be in relatively calm air.

For engine sound I want to drive roof down whenever possible. With spoiler I can do this even on colder days (below 10 c) even for a couple of hours. And it does make a big difference to any other configuration of hood and windows.

Car looks way better without, though...
