FS: C7 RS6 Heated Windscreen

[Skier]

A heated windscreen wasn't available for the C7 RS6 so after getting a stone chip in my original windscreen, and having had heated front screens in Range Rovers, I decided to have five heated windscreens made through Ricky Evans Motorsport (they're actually made by Tyneside Safety Glass). Five is the minimum number to make production viable. I recently collected my car after having the windscreen fitted by Challenge Motor Company of Cheltenham, my home town.

If any C7 RS6 owners would like a heated front windscreen they are available from Challenge Motor Company in Cheltenham. The owner also owns a C7 RS6 and is having one and I believe he has a customer for another, which leaves two available. If you're interested, contact Challenge.

Wow, this is great. I just bought a C7.5 today, but no heated windscreen lol. Any ideas on price? Is it HUD compatible

Impressive - out of interest what was the cost per item and how is it "switched" inside the car?

You will need to speak with Challenge Motor Company for a price but I would anticipate around £1k fitted. It's not a small job and the first installation took a while on my car. Now they know how to do it, it should be quicker. I don't know if the windscreens are HUD compatible as it wasn't a consideration for me. I will ask Ricky Evans Motorsport and report back.

The cost to me of having the 5 screens made was £1,851.60, or £370.32 each. I had them wired into the rear heated screen switch with 2 x 5-minute relays i.e. the front screen automatically switches off after 5-minutes. The screen has two separate elements: nearside and offside and each needs wiring separately. On the 2 or 3 occasions I've had cause to use it, it has worked superbly to clear the screen of ice in short order. I suspect I'll be using it a great deal in the coming days.

The screens I had made are NOT HUD compatible.
