just wondering if anyone on here knows where to get some perspex windows at a not to bad price?

i want some for my mk1 astra/ kadett d, how would i have to go about getting them?

send my windows to a company for them to make perspex versions or do some people know the sizes and have ready made templates?
also what price am i looking for front 2 windows, rear quater ones and rear screen? if you know individual prices that would be great!

cheers

im going to make my rear ones at work on the laser machine, but its too small to get a front window in poop!

Which is a better material though, Poly carb or perspex?

Perspex windows are tempting but you sacrifice alot in the way of security

pretty sure if a thief wanted something he'd get it no matter if it was glass or perspex.

do you think it would be ok to tint perspecx windows with film?
looked at pre-tinted perspex windows but isn't quit dark enough (turning the nova into a road legal track day car but i still want it to be looking sleekish)

im not on about DARK tints either for those of you hwo think they looks crap on novas - about 25 percent all the way round?

You can push a perspex window through the hole, the glass one won't do that.

They are less secure, that's a fact.

Chuck a brick at some perspex though and it will just bounce off.

it won't shatter then! Not being funny but if someone wants to get into your car then they will no matter what you do to stop them.

But then i wouldn't want perspex windows on a car i used everyday, infact i wouldn't want manual windows on a car i used everyday so security wouldn't be an issue!

you have to smash the spark plug first, then just flick a broken bit at glass!

It won't shatter, but it will 'smash' into big pointy shards if you throw a brick through it.
