I don't understand why the wiper wind deflector cost more than the Hood ?

Oh it was not pretty $ by the time it got here, and then there's the fact that it doesn't fit great plus it needs to be finished off. I'm also having a vent made up for it to channel some air through the front nose vents so all in all it's going to cost me well over a $1500au from memory. I say from memory, because like many things on this car, I like to forget.

While the originals look ugly a company in the south of France makes a set that matches nicely the curves of the front bumper. See my avatar, or last pic in my signature, or on Asarus' car.

Bottom line is that it fits well and save a bundle in weight. What else is there?...apart from stupid costs

Do you have any contact info??

I have a set that was made by OG Racing in the states (VA) but they are NLA...
They do a great job of getting plenty of air to the S4 brakes but I wonder if a more aerodynamic profile might be better...

Here's a pic before the car was finished.

Eddie, I can provide you with a set if you really want one (have to check back how much they sell them for) but to be honest yours are a better design regarding air flow so they must be more efficient.
