Windscreens
Well I contrived to break my BMW E21 windscreen whilst taking it out to get at some nasty rust this afternoon. I can pull one from another car or buy another from Germany, but I started thinking about plastic. I doubt anyone has a polycarb front screen readymade for this car, so does anyone know where I could get one made??
Regards Jim |

Thanks for the tip Jim |

We got our windows from them. We used to make the side windows ourselves, but these guys supplied a better end result for not a lot more than doing it ourselves.
They can be a little, er, vague with communication and replying to enquiries. However the guy who runs it is a top bloke. He knows his stuff and we are very happy with the windows and windscreen. I bet he can help you and I've won with their screens! |

Fortunately they aren't far from where I live, so I can always go up there and enquire directly.
If you don't mind me asking, how much did your screen cost?? |

My problem was everything I ordered was custom made so took a bit longer, plus they were half way through a premises move and I think other people were shouting louder. Give them a ring, get a quote for timescales of them, double it and you should be fine. |

He was going to tackle the huge glass screen on the back of my IROC-Z so obviously very competent, it was just me that bottled it!
