Omega Owners Forum - New windscreen

Ken L Senior Member Offline Posts: 589 Sheffield, South Yorkshire Gender: Drives: 1998 Black Omega 2.5 V6 Manual Tourer	New windscreen 30. Nov 2009 at 13:24 Just got a lovely shiny new windscreen fitted this morning. The original one had several quite bad wiper scratches on it that were annoying, it past the test with it, but I like a nice clean screen. They did an excellent job at A1 Bee screens in Sheffield ( thought I would give them a plug if that's ok?) £126.50 inc' vat.

Sounds like wear and tear, not breakage. However, I'm sure that could have been arranged............. Roll Eyes

I've had TPFT quotes that were more than the comprehensive quotes. Think of it as a plus point of getting old(er) Thumbs Up!

That's something I could do with too. There's nearly 160k miles worth of scrtaches/marks etc that are OK during the day, but are quite noticable at night in the wet ...... and it's a bit milky at the bottom, on the black bit.

I'd like a reflective screen if mine ever got chipped enough to fail an MOT! Roll Eyes
