Get a sheet of foamalux for door cards - make things a touch more civilised.

These guys do polycarb windows: http://acwmotorsportplastics.co.uk/default.aspx (that's where my rears were from).
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.

Since my rear window they've changed the design of the rear pane a touch - it took them over an hour to fit it, because it was about 2mm too big - really good tight fit though!

They're a father and two sons.  They're very flexible on front window designs, too - want an open panel where the slider is?OK.  Want circles there to maintain the car's security?  Not a problem.  Losing the rear window mechanisms lost kilos out of the back of my car.

Looks like good stuff DH, will have a nosey and start saving.

Got busy with the polish today to try and make the flat paintwork look a little more presentable. Still need to go over the whole car again and do the roof but certainly an improvement.

Cheers. My original idea was a budget of £500 for a tidyish small bumper MKII and to strip it, slam it and run it standard. This car was just a real stroke of luck.

The paint job ain't all that trust me. Looks better than it did though.
