Have a stone hit them and they will shatter into increadibly sharp pieces which will probably fly into your eye. | |

leave them in the sun to long and they will go yellow and crack | |

Perspex windows :lol: You'd have to be an idiot to fit perspex windows. Saying they aren't as strong as polycarb is a massive understatement! Perspex = Acrylic = BRITTLE! | |

quote: perspex shatters and snaps easily as is it a harder material than polycarb. polycarb flexes alot more and gets it strength from that. which also means you cant smash it to get in the car! | |

looking on the plastics 4 performance website they seem to favour perspex for track day use | |

car will be used for track days, and the ocasional weekend blast, car isnt garaged but is covered so security may also be an issue, but then i suppose there aint really anything to nick in it and steering wheel is always removed so qite tricky to steal it. | |

I'm assuming the car will be used in race events etc so I would say yes, | |

Right I have had a price of £170 for a full set of perspex windows which is much cheapness however im told they are not as strong as poly carb, so my question is it worth the extra £100 or so for poly carb |
