Default Brown rear windows in S2

Hi,
Do somebody know if you can see the different or only when you take a closer look. I have a set of brown pop out windows for my s2 I'm not sure if they look good when the rest is in the orginal colour .
Got any one pics ??


Thanks
Steve

Do not replace green windows with brown - try to get green or clear ones.
I had brown, now have clear ones and i'm still searching for green.

I changed the front glass to bronze tint as well to keep it matching. Wouldn't be without my opening rear 1/4's now.

i think its very noticeable but thats cos i fit glass all day...the rest of the glass is easy to get hold of in bronze so you could make them all match

I have a full set of browns in mine but didnt get round to sticking the drivers one in, when they are wet they stick out like a sore thumb (but the drivers one is clear which doesnt help!)

thort bout fitting opening rear quarters to my s2 but i dont think it looks right because on the front windows u can see the black rubber around them,then on the rears they are on the inside.and u cant see them very well,so looks like the rubber is missing.

Everyone missed a right bargain on ebay the other week. There was a guy selling 3 sets of green opening rear quarters, Ł28.85 buy it now for the pair with Ł10.85 postage. I almost bought all 3 sets, but just bought the one in the end cos I thought that was a bit greedy. Got them within a few days and they are pukka ford ones sealed in the pack and everything.

From this fella : http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Retrof...0s-Ford-spares

I bought a set of bronze ones for the fixtures and fittings and thought they looked gash with the green. Down to personal choice at the end of the day.
