The Mark One screen has rounded bottom corners, and the Mark Two has squared. Not sure if they are the same apart from that, but is it possible to cut laminated glass?
I've been told you can get heated Mk 1 screens, though I've never seen one.
Err, no - you can't make "cuts" to a screen And anyway, you'd end up cutting the heater elements anyway as they run to the edge of the glass so it wouldn't function anyway...
I have heard of people doing this to and my mate is looking in to it as he needs one im his track car, also my engine builder (bluesprint) seams to think he has heard of it being done or may well know of some one who can do it,
It is worth a call??

Mike @ Templar is the man to speak to about this, pretty sure if there was enough interest he'd make some 3dr ones, he did batches of screens for a group buy a mate of mines was involved in.
Might be some Mk1 heated screens still around in Mainland Europe, as they wont have been made specifically for the RS200, just a parts bin raid, probably an option on Mk1 Sierras in the Scandanavian countries - Fordpartsuk might be able to source one as they have access to Fords european parts system.
Just group-buy the buggers.
The lads on Xrtwo.com did a similar thing last year.
Get enough orders in and you can get a half decent price, probably cheaper than trying to source one from some obscure european dealerships parts shed.
There's always the cheaper option.....de-icer and in car fans.
It's a race car, so it won't have fans / heaters, and I can't see him needing a de-icer in Australia . It's for when the car mists up in the rain etc....

No reason he couldn't fabricate a loom I guess........
should be, but theres loads of saffs being broken and I would think a used heated window subloom would only be buttons and save some hassle with the install at the aus end
BTW have you got anymore pics of your car with those black mags on - need some new wallpaper for the PC.
I havnt got any pics of the "cuts" you need to make..But if you lay a screen in situ its pretty easy to see where it catches at the bottom of each corner..
I cant keep posting the same boring pics...i'll get slaughtered on here
