out of interest.... how much do they set you back on a Corsa for example?

I'm amazed at what I've been quoted for the Skyline (2 doors, 2 rear 1/4 and rear screen) - good old skyline tax

right, sit down guys...

my cheapest quote so far is 350+vat for supply only in Perspex.

Lexan from Sumo Power (tomei brand) - 1625



Dave - how have you fitted them to the front doors? Mine are framless, so will need to be formed/curved i'd think

heard other reports about p4p... the fit isnt that good, needed a lot of trimming etc... true?

Were you corsa ones formed (curved) or just straight panels?

They'll just be cut to size & shoved into place.

Frameless windows could be a prob, i guess you'll need shaped ones.
