Plastics 4 Performance (http://www.plastics4performance.co.uk/) gets my vote... in polycarbonate as well as perspex shatters into potentially lethal bits.

I just bought enough polycarbonate to do my e30 front and rear side windows and rear screen from a glazing company for Ł50. Ok i have to cut it myself but not like that is hard is it....Jigsaw and off you go....

Just a thought considering i bet the prices they want for ready to fit stuff is stupid....
