I took my original windows to a plastics company they did front, Sides and rear window all cut perfect to size for £50! They also fitted sliders for me that i supplied them with.

I think the reason it is so expensive is down to the fact they use polycarbonate rather than perspex.

I remember before I bought my windows ages ago me and a mate were pricing up large sheets of polycarb so I could do my R5 and he could do his Astra, even with both of us going in on it together it still worked out just as expensive plus we would of had to cut them all ourselves.

I wanted a set to, priced them up and by the time you add a tint, thicker window and a curve on them it soon mounts up.

Shame we could no get a good group buy on these.
