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

I've sent them an email, see what they say.

Thanks for the tip

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??

I was thinking of getting a set from them as well actually. How are they with turnover time but, much of a delay?

Off the shelf stuff is pretty quick.

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!
