ric355 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 RiF can supply you a set of three racetech mirrors with the aero. I have the RiF setup and it's a top product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBL Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I don't have an aeroscreen (yet ), but from what I understand, the RiF model is preferred by some because it has an upward "flip" at the top which is said to be more effective at directing air over the occupants' heads. Or at least that is the primary functional reason as I understand it. - Sean edit -- added: "...as I understand it" to last sentence Edited by - BBL on 1 Apr 2008 21:23:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Thompson Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Every piece of RiF carbon is crafted by hand by people that are passionate about the product and it shows in the finished job. Go for it - you won't be disappointed I promise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Get the carbon mirrors from Dave Kimberley at Demon Tweeks who will look after you with a good price if you mention the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBL Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I believe Richard (RiF) can supply carbon mirrors. You can contact him directly to know for sure while you're waiting for more opinions on his aero vs. others. - Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Thompson Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Think Richard is away until Thursday actually so you might not get his usual immediate email reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blade_runner Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 While they dont look half as good as a carbon Aeroscreen if you like sitting low in the car the Caterham 'Vauxhall' aeroscreen gives you much more lower forward vision, as you can see through the clear perspex Aero. its what I have, it was on the car when I got it, the other 2 blades that are local to me both have Carbon aero's which look fantastic, but when i've driven both of them i've noticed how much of the lower front area they block out, maybe it seems worse to me as I've got used to being able to see through my Aero Carbon looks so dam good though!!

Dickie Normuss Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 RIF's Carbon work is to a very high standard and he can supply mirrors, both plastic and I believe now Carbon ones too. I think he also does the aero in 2 heights depending on what you want VX HPC - Loud and proud here Watch out, whatever hits the fan will not be distributed evenly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiF Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 back now 😬 Thanks for everyones support on the subject of aeros Think everything has been said to answer the various questions. Carbon mirrors are just starting to trickle through and back orders hopefully will be fulfilled shortly. I keep kicking Racetech to assemble them.
