I know it wouldn't solve the problem completely but in the sunniest conditions could you wear polarised sunglasses to block the reflections?

Have heard about the sun glasses solution but we both wear glasses so again a costly solution. Can't understand why no one here has same issue, maybe our dash extra shiny.

i didnt notice it reflecting as it was really bright the day i drove it... im pretty glad i didnt go for the new ST as i wanted to see how good the mountune kit was as it didn't feel fast tbh, I think i made a good choice i was glued to the bumper of the ST215 kitted fiesta at ford fair and even dropping off my cams at one point coming out of becketts corner then when it picked up i was reeling it in down the straight  then did overtake

Yours has no weight in it tho, a fully stripped, lightweight MK7 would be a different story......

it just didnt feel fast or torquey tbh, i felt like mine had a lot more to give, the ower band was too short, felt like my st before it had cams, i know turbo cars are different how they put the power through but it just didnt feel fun
it handled amazingly well though, i think i scared the sales girl  taking corners not far off as fast as i would in mine with no trouble
that's what I thought when I had a spin in one, feels quite flat.

i didnt mean the cornering speeds though the straight line drag... and with everything taken out of my car i worked out it weighs 1100kg the new ST with everything in it is 1160kg so pretty much the same so i feel like the MR200 is well on par with the MP215, will be interesting to see what the MR2** has when it comes out later in the year
