Retro-fit Side Blinds

Post by el_ringo » Tue May 24, 2011 8:26 pm

Hi All,

I refuse to put those shitty stick-on baby shades on the car so it is tints or retrofitting side blinds. I have them on the main baby wagon (Cayenne) and they are pretty good.

Does anyone know who can fit these correctly?

If there anything like the B7 then it will be expensive. Whole new door car is needed. It will be at least a £1500-2000 (remember someone got quoted).

Even with Audi I am surprised that a door card is £1500 to £2000.

I thought a driver's door card is about £300.

I know it will be more with the blind in it.

Anyone know the part number for the rear door cards with ivory leather and with the blind built in?

I missed out on some second hand ones recently :-(

They look good!

EDIT: However, they dont have the right year range for the C5 shape saloon on their list. I will give them a call tomorrow.

You could ask Virdee if he has any ideas.

I have them on mine, not that helps you. But from what I can see it's just a case of replacing the door card and adding the two hooks at the top of the window frame. I'm happy to take photo's if you need to see.

Save yourself the hassle and cost by going with Tints instead. Look much better esp on Daytona :thumbs:

Thanks Maximo, it must be near identical to the Cayenne setup.

Just had a look on my new Etka and the rear door panels for roller blinds are £416.44 each inc vat the blinds are £232.90 each inc vat and then you need various clips, screws and runners. Get the windows tinted :)

I have bought some of the made to measure ones from:

www.vanstyle.co.uk

£100 including postage. Not cheap but the fit looks really good. You can access the fitting instructions from the website and they appear to be about £30 than other offerers but are clearly the same brand.

Will let you know what they are like. Got to be better than the nasty stick on ones.

Only Avant fitting too, so it looks like tints are the current favorite.
