The usual formula is:

Windscreen cost = (Catapult + small pebble) + (whatever the excess is on your insurance policy).

No really .!

Bugger he sold the car now . [with the broken screen]

Well you could have just looked on eliseparts.com

Most insurers have a fixed excess of <£100 (I know Elephant is £50 IIRC).

A lot of Lotus dealers have a managed windscreen service where you give them your car, keys and insurance policy details and they sort it all out for you - i.e. making sure some trainee Autoglass guy doesn't mount it improperly or damage the clam.

I was actually being serious!

New screens, fitted, are stupid money because all the autoglass companies have cosy little cartel deals with the insurance companies. Since it doesn't affect your no-claims bonus, the sensible option is to have an 'accident'.

WTF!! First ther was 2 Toxics and now there is 2 Twinpipes!!!! Ladies watch out!!!

Ha ha, Double trouble

Few hundred quid from what I remember. Junks can now get them with heater filaments in I believe a la the 340R.

I think Junks can do them for sub £200.

Hi do you have junks contact details I have just bought the elise with the broken screen the cheapest I can find is £400 plus. Need to get the whole car looked at as it has been standing for 18 months, any good contacts would be helpful.

[Twin pipe]

too much work for me that one as i do not have a garage , shame.

Just been out in the car, the council has laid fresh grit on the road. Anyway a lorry went past, knocked a stone up and I have a waking great chip in it now.

I fancy getting the one from elise parts with the heater elements built in for de-misting. Could I get one of thes if I claimed on my insurance policy?

[crackthatoff]

£6k??? thats like having a rummage in the bargin basket, hmmmmm a full salmon for 10p.....
Na thats got to be slightly fishy aint it !
