Made to order — cut and fitted for your car, ready to ship in 1–3 weeks.
This set includes front-door panels — parked use only. Australian road rules don't allow shades on the front driver or passenger windows while you're driving. Fit them when the car is parked, and take them off before you drive. Rear-door and third-row panels are fine to leave on.

About these BMW 118i sun shades
Custom-fitted BMW 118i sun shades tame the heat that builds quickly in a compact hatch, keeping the cabin cooler on school runs and city commutes. Rear passengers — especially little ones in child seats — get relief from harsh side glare through those close-set rear windows.
For this car you can choose a front door pair, a rear door pair, or the four-piece set covering both rows. The rear pair is the popular pick for families, while the full four-piece set keeps the whole cabin shaded when the car is parked in the sun.
☑ Custom-measured on your exact car — Every shade is measured directly on each individual vehicle, then produced at the workshop, fitted to the car, and fine-tuned until it meets standard. Only the finished, fitted car is photographed before the product goes to market — so every product is precise, thanks to a closed-loop, specialised process.
☑ A genuine, gap-free fit — Exact dimensions mean the shades sit flush: clean-looking, with no gaps or warping and no damage to the door seals. Rear-door shades cover the whole door, while front-door shades are cut to leave just enough room to see your mirror, watch the road, and reach toll and parking cards.
☑ 100% black polyester mesh — The mesh blocks UV rays and cuts glare and cabin heat. Already have window film? Add these shades and you're set. No film yet? The shades alone are highly effective — there's no need to film your side windows (film the windscreen if you'd like).
☑ Fast on, fast off — Fitting and removing the shades is quick and simple. Even with the window down, the shade still blocks sun, dust, and insects. Best of all, from inside you can see out clearly, while from outside it is harder to see in.
Shades hold securely in normal driving — we recommend removing them at highway speeds.
Build quality
Round 304 stainless, not flat steel
Most shades are framed with flat steel wire. It corrodes, and its edge works through the mesh at the fold. Ours is round-profile 304 stainless — it doesn't rust, and it doesn't cut the fabric it sits in.



Visibility
See out, without being seen
The mesh is open enough to see through from inside and dense enough to keep the cabin private from outside. Windows still wind down, and air still moves through.

What customers say
Perfect for the school run. Kids stopped whinging about the sun in their eyes and I can actually see out the side windows which was my main worry. Would buy again.
Good value for a full set of four. The mesh could be slightly thicker but it does block most of the glare and heat. Magnets are the highlight, way better than suction cups that fail in the heat. Had mine about a month, no issues.
Bought on a whim and genuinely impressed. The front pair fit snug and the rear ones too. Had a 41 degree day last week and the difference in cabin temp was noticeable. My black interior would normally be scorching but the wheel and seats were just warm instead of painful to touch.
Mate these are bloody good. Slap em on, take em off, no mucking around. Car used to be an oven in arvo pickup, now it's bearable.
Finally something that works on my hatch. The rear window ones contour nicely and you can barely tell they're on there. No more roasting when I get in after work.
