Which company and what type do people recommend ? I need to rear quarter windows as shell hasn't got them so either put glass ones back in but it's going to be a track car !

I know afew companies make them but looking for feedback

Plastics4performance are cheaper if you just want to the rear quarters.

ACW motorsport are cheaper if you want the whole kit and have a few more options e.g. locking slider.

There was an ebay seller doing the full set for £420 once upon a time but seems to have disappeared.

I’ve got some ACW motorsport front ones for sale in the for sale section if you’re interested

I'd go with ACW, I've got their front ones and a rear screen (ACW do use photos of my rear screen on their website/fb etc), rear quarters currently on order. I had kept my distance for a while but now they're thermoforming the rear ones look a lot better.

Regardless of who you use if you don't go with hard coating they will scratch/mark very very easily but I am impressed with the quality overall of the ACW stuff, helps that they're very easy to work with as well

What does the thermoforming do , provide a fit / finish?

Yeah, it gives the original curved shape back to the windows, and possibly slightly more rigidity. It is an additional cost but I think it looks a lot better than just a flat surface either bonded or bolted in place, I'll stick a pic in of my rear screen (still covered in protective wrap but you'll get the idea)

I have bought a shell and the guy sold the window kit from it so need to put something in place. Need a 182 gearbox too !
