Have you found a supplier for Polycarb Windows yet?
If not, I massively reccomend these guys;
http://www.acwmotorsportplastics.co.uk/
Service & Quality was spot on, and the price was very good too

Yeah, I used some extras that no-one else with a Corsa had done, so saw them at Combe again to give the guys feedback (impressed with everything) and they got some shots of the car.
The kits are bond in rears - I bonded & bolted mine in though
They also sell the full bonding kit etc too, for fair prices again.

just been looking in your corsasport gallery actually. look really good, and a decent price. especially compared to plastics4performance. i think its about 500 quid from them lot.
being bond in, im interested. dont like the screwed in look really. suppose just like glass can get them tinted with film so they look more a normal green/blue shade

Cheers
The bonding in was pretty simple too, with the right stuff.
I'd also happily admit that it definitely doesn't NEED the bolts provided you allow it to cure properly. I also bolted mine for E-Points really. Plus the shell had already had holes drilled into it for the sunroof blank etc, a few more wouldn't hurt.
Bolting allows you the option to use a different sealer though if the chance of them being removed etc is there however. Although the new owner of my Corsa removed and refitted the windows without bother to fit a full cage and repaint, and that was with proper window bond used...

A noticeable bit, not as much as I ws expecting though.
It does help to move the CoG of the car lower though I guess.

All joking apart Nic, I won't be fitting them to next project, soon as I come off track
can't wind window down so it's unbearable, need a roof vent like steve's got in his Puma 
don't think they save that much..

i cant wind the window down currently without opening the door lol. thats why i drove about in the queue holding my door open. do it on the return road as well. gets warm up in that car, especially with a helmet on.
more weightloss on the cards for the car. wiring loom to chop stuff out of inside the car next as its a mess really.

on way back from doctors called in to do some shopping
star silver for rocker cover if my mate says he can't polish it, nitromorse to strip paint and smoke grey for side skirt. typically forgot to purchase a tiger seal type product.
first bit on
got a plug cover from crana, so that got nitromorsed as well
noise level of my car, which includes the pops and bags as its quite hard to hold the revs at 4k so thats not bad. was just under 90 without the bangs.
painted the skirt again
second application of nitromorse on
same for plug cover
scraped what i could off, which was a fair bit actually. it was black under the red, then red under that black. this was the rocker cover that i used to have the flicky paint on many many years ago. fired the hose at it to wash away any other bits i could get, now leaving it to dry and will apply another coat. then it wil require sanding, and hopefully the -10 fitting welded on tomorrow.

I never had any glare problems with mine...
They do make the car a proper oven though, I was going to roof vent mine but didn't get round to it.

found some exterior sticking stuff, it glued my hands together as i failed to use it properly so hopefully thats a good sign pmsl
shit box has a sideskirt again
scraped paint off with scraper, then went over with wire wool as per instructions on the tub then started with some 120 grit to get the marks off etc. may send it off to get polished up. not really sure.
