Coolm A bit thin though 4mm is the usual regulation thickness. Heard back from ACW, happy to do Standard kit back windoe and back 1/4 for about 100. bronxe tint for about 120 and 200 fir the antiscratch marguard.
However he doesnt have the dimensions.....
Anyone have a mk3 polo near bristol that would pay him a visit?!
-
If you are happy to wait, I'm having mine done by a company in london, Lexan polycarbonate 4MM thick with sliders for approx 170
-
I think Jezza7 is near Bristol somewhere!
-
Cool. Yea I'm in no rush. Have you more info on the company? If its a bloke with a Stanley knife then I can do that! I'd prefer with margaurd protection too. Do they do that?
Might pm jezza too just see what happens. I haven't heard back from other 2 companies.
-
What's the weight saving in total over the glass?

Alex- if you do the rear screen too, I'd guess 15kg ish.
-
Yea, it seems P4P are the ones to go to for no fuss good windows but ££££. I reckon ACW can do as good products for a lot less, so Id like to get them some measurements so they can quote properly.
-
I just done a quick basket on p4p and it was
THICKNESS & COLOUR: 3mm Clear Hardcoated Polycarbonate
FRONT DOOR WINDOW TYPE: Modified - 1 Peice Door Window
REAR 1/4 WINDOW TYPE: Rubber Seal Fit 1/4 Window
REAR WINDSCREEN TYPE: Standard Rear Screen to Bond in
SCREEN BORDER: + Black OEM Border to Rear Screen
SLIDER KITS: 2 x Budget Slider Kits
RIGHT OR LEFT HAND DRIVE: Right Hand Drive VWPOL2-KIT-PC £414.50
Order Amount = £414.50
VAT (where applicable) = £82.90
Total = £497.40
-
Cha ching! And thats for 3mm!
Oh and plus ACW are the only ones that were arsed to reply to my emails! ;)
-
It's 3 mm I think a may go for.. But unsure if it will be stable or flappy up the motorway..
Am now weight saving as much as a cab tbh. A want 180bhp and 750kgs as a nice ball figure.
Mark are you still buildin the glass fibre shell'd G?
-
mine are 3mm, they dont flap about on the motorway but the slider makes a fair bit of noise. I've not done the boot window yet though.
-
I think Jezza7 is near Bristol somewhere!
Im 30 miles from these. Have replied back to mark and i can make a trip there next time im shooting past.
If anyone else is looking to get some i could let them take measurement of all windows and then let them know for future reference.
-
Yea I think this coulf be a great Idea jezza. Anyone up for a group Buy on all the different bits. I have windows out the shell so can take pics etc.
I think I'll retain the fron window for the moment, although it would be nice to do one peice fron window convetion and retain the winder, although it must be tricky or soneone will have done it. I think the weight saving gained through binning the window mechs are minimal, although I could weigh them
Yep still building the carbon bodied car! Im in no rush TBH but would like to get them sorted, I spoke to the bloke at ACW and he seems clued up and nice. So would be good to get proper numbers from him etc.
4mm is the minimum reuirement fir MSA rules so if you ever want to do hill climbs or other stuff then you need 4mm....
-
I'm going to order from P4P within the next few weeks.
THICKNESS & COLOUR 4mm Glass Green Polycarbonate (+ £30.00)
FRONT DOOR WINDOW TYPE Modified - 2 Peice Door Window
REAR 1/4 WINDOW TYPE Rubber Seal Fit 1/4 Window
REAR WINDSCREEN TYPE Standard Rear Screen to Bond in
SCREEN BORDER + Black OEM Border to Rear Screen (+ £20.00)
SLIDER KITS No Slider Kits
RIGHT OR LEFT HAND DRIVE Right Hand Drive
The above options come in at just shy of £300 (inc VAT), if anyone else is interested, I'll get some info on multiple purchase prices.

yep I am obviously but why is you price so wildly different to that on the website? I am also just really after the back windows. Would they do that if so how much?
-
Price is off the website mate- if you have it hardcoated then it's ££££
-
I wonder if you can get the 2 piece front door windows into the bonded G40 seal. I need side tinted windows but want to keep the bonded seal.
-
I'm confused the front windows arent bonded!?
-
confusion is in your username...
-
g40s and gt coupe have their front 1/4s bonded into the rubbers.
-
Ordered my windows tonight, Lexan Margard (4mm) which is hardcoated (clear) and should last far longer than my old poly windows.
Gone for CL spec 1/4lights and a black surround on the rear window too, comes in at £350 + delivery.
Anyone intereted in taking the second set off my hands for cost?
