After seeing them on Stu's stilo at brooklands I wanted some.

Had a look on ebay and could only find what I think are copies. Although they have a stitched FIAT logo on them and come in a FIAT stamped bag

Cost me £92 :eek:, tried to blag them as an early xmas present but nobody was kind:(

Ordered Sat and they arrived Tues but I was in bed.

Picked them up and fitted today.

Rear doors go on perfect.

Rear quart clips dont fit. The clip isnt long enough to wedge into the window seal. Plastic trim pushes it out. Luckily they a tight fit so jammed them in :cool:

Rear windscreen comes in 2 parts. Split down the middle. I dropped the clip to attach them togeter on the boot latch. Went to get it and pushed the flappy thing on the boot latch and it will never be seen again :bang:
Again as it is a tight fit they fit together near perfect.

The stilo now got a tinted look which can be removed easily if wanted :D

Seller is direct4x4

Pics tomorrow when I finish work(y)
 
The rear quarters don't need clips, I had none spare for those anyway, they just push in direct (y)

I love the blinds :D and so useful with the kids in the back ;) so Gaz, you got something to tell us? :chin:
 
They're great in the daylight but should really be removed at night :cool:

Drove down from Brum last night and needed to watch what was behind me with some care (really should have removed them)
 
Pics, they late :eek:

Finally got round to putting them on today..... wow they do look good, my 1.6 active is looking much better now that ive added a set of 16in fiat alloys (from 15in steely) and the blinds.
The delivery from that dealer is also excellent, it took 1 working day to arrive, and they arrive in style, the box is MASSIVE lol.
He only has 3 sets left now the rest are at the higher price so get in there while you can, i will post some pics tomorrow as the car is filthy atm as ive just done an oil change, done the front pads twice....... no more squeeking brakes yippee, and managed to stop those bloody creaking suspension springs, the car sounds almost new again.....

welcome to the club twincamms LOL, you should get them on tues if you ordered them on sunday. I cant see them being any different to mine, they are original OEM ones that fiat sell and are really good quality.
On another note, ive just driven home from work in the pitch black darkness (well nearly) and i could see everything behind me though the blinds. The only time i could see the blinds being an issue in the dark is reversing in a badly lite area, but then again a good driver KNOWS the length of his car (cough cough at my wife gggrrrrrhhhhh).
Make sure you post some pics when they arrive so the 3dr owners can see how good or bad they look.
The only thing that was bad about the blinds was the instuctions, they dont really give you enough information on instalation, the rear door windows on my car had to have the rubber lifted so the clip could be placed there, the instructions didnt show this, but then again ive come to expect this from fiat.

You might see something but you don't see it very well - and of course that could be critical :eek:

You should try them with an open sky-roof. In some rare lighting situations (when more light enters the car than is visible externally) then you can't see damn all, and that's not funny when reversing into a tight spot.

The answer is to close the sky-roof but it throws you bit when it happens :)
