How much do std side windows weigh?
iv got rear sides in lexan so far and will be changing fronts so no window motors either so bit of weight off there

stevo172-RWD · Oct 22, 2012

Windows arrive next week with sliders and pins
from acwmotorsport plastics

Cupman29 · Oct 22, 2012

Let me know how you get on with the windows as I am planning on getting some very soon and would like to know how they fit.

Cheers

They should be a good fit as they copy original ones.

i think Neil on here has some fitted from there too
and others on here too.

I've not long fitted mine , 2 fronts with 4 small holes and sliders and 2 rears. Had to spray a 2" black border round the rears just bit like standard glass but for the money compared to plastics4performance (they come already with border done) they are a bargain buy! Not the best of pics but kind of show them on my car.

Cupman29 · Oct 24, 2012

Did you get the standard or anti-scratch coated ones?

Didn't realise that about the black border.

stevo172-RWD · Oct 24, 2012

Yes iv ordered same front windows with sliders and lock pin
with four holes the same.

rears have p4p 76mm naca scoops have pic on here somewhere

stevo172-RWD · Oct 24, 2012

I got anti scratch ones but the sliders are normal lexan.
as for the border mine were done by acw so great.
they came out and fitted them too! As I'm close.

Just standard lexan i went for

Cupman29 · Oct 24, 2012

Think I'll go for the anti-scratch with the border and front sliders.

When are you hoping to have this complete?

Cupman29 · Oct 25, 2012

If only you had a £1 for every time someone asked that question!

stevo172-RWD · Oct 26, 2012

If I had a £ for everytime I'm asked that on a daily babasis so I should have 1000s now ££££!££

But, iirc, you're 85% complete

mitch1503 · Dec 25, 2012

id say less than 85% if its still the same as when i last saw the car

jamesv6 · Dec 25, 2012

if this was the car i was looking at down at ktec beginning of this month it looks fantastic, alot of detail and engineering has gone into mounting the engine in the boot, hat of too ya bud for attempting it.
