That's actually rather nice. Nicer than I expected.

For MG 4 2022- 5.doors Wind deflectors 4.pc HEKO 23803 | eBay

HEKO 23803. doors Wind deflectors 4. They fits and looks excellent.

Not an issue, I thought I'd mentioned in an earlier post I bought them through ebay

Patience never was my strongest trait, I couldn't wait 4 hours before starting work with some new toys to fit. Who needs sleep

Like them, look good.

Lovely, not a chrome strip in sight.

I'll probably get those ones but I'll wait until the weather gets warmer because I would have to fit them outside and IIRC those double sided adhesives need a warm day of around 20 deg C to cure properly.

It's just cheapish double sided not 3m vhb or anything, it's the metal clips that seem to be holding it firmly in place

They fit great but I have found an issue that I can easily rectify though. The driver's side deflector partially eats in to the view of the wing mirror so I'm gonna fettle/dress off up to the red line

Can't say I've had a problem seeing the mirrors.... but interesting to see your results after Mod.

You might find a Dremel with a cutting disc and a steady hand works well. I know when I had to recently trim some corrugated plastic roofing sheets it cut easily without splitting the aged plastic.

I can see through it fine in daylight but not so well on unlit roads and the motorway

Just realised I said drivers side when it's the passenger side where it affects my view

I'll remove them both as I'll have to trim both sides to be symmetrical otherwise it'll drive me nuts. I'll use one of the rotary files at work as that will cause less heat when removing the material then finish off with a half round hand file, I'll then replace the double sided tape

Team Heko do them for MG4 now but only for the front at the moment

Could you just cut them off straight, removing the downward section altogether, or is it part of the mounting fixtures ?

 

[jpk]

Maybe or trim them like the edited image of @kevin bonney's car. I think I'll try the first method of making that vertical section narrower all the way down and then see. It's easy to take material off but you can't put it back on and just chopping off that vertical bit would be too final!

Good stuff nice to see someone has developed some. They will have to wait for me as ive just bought a new shape MX5 which I'm buying bits for. Much more fun and far less likely to kill me with all these ridiculous driver assists.

I can personally say the Mazda driver assist systems are amazing. Are you modding the mx5 like remapping etc

Do the Hekos make a big difference to the wind noise?

Tighter grundies help with wind noise

Sorry, I couldn't resist
