Title: Window Shades - Sonniboy - PICS
Post by: prp74 on April 13, 2014, 08:58:35 pm
Guys,

Having seen some of the threads, people have highly recommended the Sonniboy window shades.

About to place an order for these;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-5-5door-2004-2008-WINDOW-SUN-SHADE-BLIND-SCREEN-tint-tuning-privacy-kit-/200660654045?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item2eb84e97dd

Anyone dealt with this company? How long was delivery?

Any advice or other recommendations much appreciated. Thanks

Had a look at those but the rear is in 2 pieces. People have recommended the one piece one.

Just wondering if the eBay link is the best place to order from?

Just a quick update.

I went for these in the end

It took 3 days for delivery from Germany.

I know there are cheaper ones, but as most other forum members have said it's better to have a one piece for the rear.

Highly recommend if you are thinking about getting some shades. Wish I bought them earlier.

And it only took 5 mins to install  :happy2:

I have the Sonniboy ones in mine sometimes and they really are very good. A perfect fit and they look OEM. Never tried any other ones so no idea if these are just expensive by comparison.

I bought a set a couple of weeks back. Very happy with them - the quality is excellent, and I received them far sooner than I thought I would (as they are shipped from Germany). I ordered them on a Sunday night, and they were delivered on the Tuesday!

Thoroughly recommended!

We should have arranged a Group Buy  :stupid: now that the good weather is creeping in  :drool:

Can you get a before/after picture or one of  the whole car showing front/rear. That'll really show the difference. The 'inside' pic is good showing view out.

I'd like to see a before and after overview too :happy2:

A group buy would be fantastic and should be easy to drum up interest on something like this.

Sorry, when I get the chance I will get some pics up.

Shame we didn't do a group buy  :stupid:

But anyone thinking of getting some... defo do it. It came to around £123 inc delivery (fast delivery from Germany), but worth every penny especially if you have children in the back.
