Default Polycarb windows

As per title, has anyone got any recommendations on where to get polycarb windows?

I believe Lexan Polycarb windows are the better type but I am open to suggestions on others.

Cheers

Lexan is just a trade name. Polycarbonate is polycarbonate so don't get sucked in to buying a brand as it won't perform any better than any other polycarbonate.

okay cheers guys.

I have noticed you can upgrade to scratch resistant, is this worth the bit extra?

I have poly windows on the sierra (makrolon as brand) And I try to be gentle to clean the windows, but still tiny scratches appear. Not a problem, but i wouldn't reccomend taking it trough the carwash every week..

I got mine from airdale race plastics
http://www.raceplastics.com/

they were the only ones able to do a set for my xr4x4 the rest told me to send the car glass to them to measure, no easy thing to do from the other ed of the country

http://www.acwmotorsportplastics.co.uk/about-us.html

these are in bristol and seem well priced, my m8 got some for his fiesta and they fitted fine
