Is there any visual colour difference between the phase 3 tinted windscreen part:00008116H7 and the very late phase 3 thermal heat shield version part:00008116V0 ?Service box notes: FRONT WIPER BLADE WITH RAIN SENSOR AND ATHERMAL WINDSCREEN SINCE RPO No. 08576 were these late windscreens able to fit onto phase 3's or did late phase 3's have a different fitting? |

Im sure the "thermal" screen you're on about looks purple from the outside, and im sure all phase's have the same screen fitting.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

I had a thermal screen (fitted accidentally) then went on to a normal one.The thermal screens are MUCH more expensive. I guess they filter out some of the more harmful UV rays. I can't say that I have noticed an increase on temperatures since the normal one was fitted. Whether or not it is worth the cost is another matter. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Just looks better imo, can't tell any difference from the inside in terms of visibility. Not been in another 306 so I couldn't tell you about it's thermal properties in comparison |
