I have the same deflectors on mine. The fit is excellent and they do work. They can get in the way on occasion but nothing a quick move of the head won't solve.

I was fed up with mine so I took them off today. I can not live with the massive blind spots in the dark. I can just about live with them in the day time. As I spend more time driving at night, it is safer for me if I remove them.
So I did.

I removed the junk standard stereo and fitted my trusty old Kenwood USB MP3 etc..
Sadly, the right door woofer still doesn't work. The tweeter does so it must be after the 'crossover' as the speaker is plugged in ok. They sound crap anyway, so good excuse to change them for good 'uns and fit an amp. Got the remote steering controls to work using the adapter but the fascia single din converter didn't fit until I had widened the 'guide' holes at the top. I also cut a hole in the ashtray so that my USB lead comes out of the back of the stereo and through there, and my USB stick with my audio books on now lives in there. Not as hard as I thought to rip it all out, but did find the handsfree control box for a Sony Ericsson phone in there. Ripped it out as it's no doubt obselete.

Cleaned it, put some stickers on it and put my winter tyres 215/60 R16 Continental WinterContact's on.
And yes, the spare isn't a winter tyre, but it is the same diameter as the 4 wheels on the car, so it will have to do as a spare until I can afford some bigger tyres.

Been to my mates and had the rear brake slave cylinders replaced as they were starting to weep, they cost the extortionate price of £5+VAT each 
While he was busy mending, I took a sanding disk to the hubs and then gave them a nice thick coating of black hammerite. Looks a damn site better now.
Also changed the headlights (cos he had them lying around) for the newer style with the clear indicator lenses instead of amber ones. Again made a nice improvement to the look I think

Replaced IRD today, on examination of knackered one, oil cooler was blocked and baked solid with coolant sludge, remains of oil in bottom of the box cooked, bearings on front drive pinion knackered and seized, mechanic (nephew) reckons IRD overheated, dumped oil out of rear drive pinion seal, result one fried IRD.
left it at home and went for a ride

I thought you were doing something healthy, like riding a bicycle. :lol:
I need to get out on my MTB more.
