Other than that you are home and away, use a fein cutter or razor wire to saw it out. A bit of patience and your home and away. Any probs? I'm only 15 miles away, ...

I make polycarb windows, including moulded ones (formed). As for quality ask Kipsy and a few others. Catch me on ebay or leave a message here.

They are about £70 from my wholesalers, who have depots in London. Front screens are about the same or less.

No worries, always welcome. If you'd only asked earlier, the rally at Ty-Croes was only a couple of weeks ago!

Re: Windscreen surround no longer chrome

I'm in Ludlow, Shropshire, perhaps to far for you. There is a company called Rejel, in Bedford that I use, try them. They also have the proper tool for fitting it at not a lot of money.

Don't know where you are, but if you want to pop round, and bring the beer, I'll fit them. Takes about 10 mins, but it is my trade!

I've checked the wholesalers and there is only one thickness of glass for normal e.30's, although M3's were thinner.

Re:

Any window can be formed, I'm currently doing some opening rear quarters for a guy with a Mk2 Escort, and they have to be formed to be able to open correctly. The same holds true with your front windows, in order for them to operate properly on the original winders they need the curve putting in the...

Hi, I've got screens for nearly all BMW's, including the E.30, prices start at £225. As for the polycarb, well you will see I already sell at trade prices, but would be content to offer another 15% if 4 or 5 of you can stitch an order together. I can also mould (thermoform) the rear quarters on the ...

Re: lightweight windows

Hi, Come try me! I've been in the windscreen trade over 30 years, heavily into my motorsport, and can do moulded (thermoformed) windows too. Advice will only cost you the price of the call, and I won't do you down.
