never used => they still have the white sticky sheet over them to stop them being scratched in transit / during fitting.

Those are for an early small window car with 1/4 lights.

Sorry, my windows had film with the brand name on them, as most polycarb does - it looks like those are opaque, but if they haven't been used then maybe it is film.

It's not at all bizarre.  Having a glass driver side front window means you can wind it down.  Useful for stuff like 'ring tickets/Péage and other operations where winding down the window is useful.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

As above polycarb windows(not cheap perspex ) with all seals supplied from a 2dr golf gti, fitted but never used. They include Rear window, Both Rear Windows, both front window quarters and passenger side window, i will also supply the drivers side glass window with the manual regulator, i paid a lot of money once upon a time but now surplus to requirements. If interested best to contact me on 07974889901

Bump i need the space now so im giving them away at £70 collected anytime this week

Mew,

Thanks for that, just registered and he ahs dropped the price to £70 so have texted him to see if they are still avaliable.  This is addictive isn't it!

Errr, aren't polycarb windows supposed to be transparent?

I can't see the photos at work.  What's the problem?

Ah!  Reference my last, cancel.  The fronts won't fit my car, but the rest will and that should still save me quite a bit of weight.

its bizarre for a track car, but that advert is from e38 so he prbably thought they looked good or something. i will be using a perspex one and live with the scratches, rather that than the added weight!

my passenger door will be the same, on summer days you do need both windows open without a sunroof

I need the drivers side to open at the least.  It still has to act as a second car for me on occasions.  As for the opening in Summer I'm not sure but i needed them to last week as misting could have become an issue.

If you buy that set Jon I'll have the front set off you as I have 1/4 light windows.
