what happened to the group buy on some polycarb windows


who is still up for some?

 

me if therye not too pricey

which windows were people on about, just the rear 3 or the fronts too?

any idea on prices gus ?

 

I already have the sides, but if the back screen can be ordered on its own i will chip in.

Other than that ill cut it out myself.

 

well i will be after the four sides and a rear


thought there was more peeps after them then this

 

easyer to cut them yourself

 

There a total bast*rd for scratching very easy and look shabby then,plus they make it very easy to break into the car for a scumbag thief,maybe thats why people are'nt interested in them??????Regards Micky

 

i know demon theives quoted me for a sides and rear and that was 190 plus the dreaded


im sure plastic 4 performance was cheaper but cant remember what the price was

 

I have a full kit of clear perspex windows fitted to my S2 (every window except the front screen) and both front windows have the sliders in. the kit cost me £225 inc VAT and delivered, from Airdale Race Components 01423 360456.

They were a total bitch to fit too especially the rear screen, and at speed they can be a bit noisy with the wind coming through the sliders.

And as for security I cant see them being any worse than glass to be honest, If a thief wants to get in your car he will, plastic windows or not

Cheers

couldnt agree more with that



if they want it they will get it

 

Do you want me to ring Paul at Plastics 4 Performance ?

 

I had a call returned from him today (Plastics4performance) but i missed it

If you do speak with him NUTS RuS could you get a price for each window/s also for complete kits.

turbotrev how do the fron windows fix to the car? dont suppose you have or could sort out some pics please?

 

Drill X amount of hole/s through the window and the top of the inner door panel. Then nut n bolt or rivets etc..

A few pics i could find

Whenever we 'nut and bolt' we ONLY ever use plastic nuts and bolts

 

these look the nuts and will be a great weight saver. i may be interested. what is the visability like with these fitted and do they look tacky once they have been in a while. The pics look really good, would you put em on an everyday road car???? its not left in car parks or anything but used everyday.

 

I personally wouldnt put them anywhere near an everyday road car no.

They do look tacky after a while IMHO, and will leak like fcuk from day 1, so if your worried about looks and wet carpets then your missing the point

 

o.k i guess thats a no for me then . my car is fully striped out (no carpet, rear seats, stereo etc) but it is still used everyday so i will give it a miss. thanks

 

Jano_OddKidd those pics were just what i wanted, cheers bud

i want some, they look the bollocks!

 

just spoke to the bloke at Plastics 4 Performance

the Escort mk3 / mk4 kit - front windows including sliders, rear windows, rear screen
made from 4mm polycarbonate or flexi-glass, £203

they also do a 5mm front screen for you track only peeps, which retails at £170

looking at around 2 weeks for delivery


also tried http://www.raceplastics.com/index.htm but theyre on holiday for a week

 

Stu, forgot to ask last time i pm'd you, where did you buy your polycarb from? and how much was it?

 

I agree. I wouldnt have them on a road car or even a car which will be left out and about due to safty.

 

red 16

sounds good to me, think i might get the front aswell

 

i was thinking the same gus

one thing im thinking about is leaving the car unattended at shows etc, and the lack of locks on the sliders thats the only place i will ever leave my car outdoors while im not there.

 

you can put a little metal pin on the sliders to stop them from being opened



i see this at central day, didnt know about it before hand

 

marvellous

 

might be a silly question but.......


can you get a heated polycarbonate screen?

 

i doubt you'll be able to get a heated poly screen gus

anymore news on the group buy?

 

i reckon its a group buy of me and you



thought there was alot more interest in them a whike ago on another post

 

Front and rear screens. If anything comes of it ill buy em.

 

the Escort mk3 / mk4 kit - front windows including sliders, rear windows, rear screen
made from 4mm polycarbonate or flexi-glass, £203

Sounds good to me, ill take em for that price.

Do they come pre drilled though ?

 

WOULD IT SAVE ME MUCH TIME AT POD ETC ?
Tim

 

think the front screens were 150 quid


not sure if they come pre-drilled or not


about the same as having a good shit in the top notch toilet facilities the pod has :cry

 

well its gotta save a fair bit of weight


should imagine the whole set of glass would weigh a bit

 

It does save loads of weight, have a look at whats left inside my door above.
