Just leaving this here so I remember about it :twisted: £160 for both front side windows. Quoted at 50% lighter than glass, plus all the window gubbins can be removed and the whole inside of the door can be chopped out. Many many Kg's to be saved Image.

They've changed their format! What about rear quarters and rear screen kit? Also, they've introduced a front screen I see. Shame it's not road legal and bloody expensive :(

My wish list is growing all the time :roll: :lol: I just hope it doesnt get too long and I have to start sacrificing. So front sides first as thats the biggest weight saving (window motors and door skin). I plan on keeping the rear screen at the moment simply for the heater elements. Once the cage is in I'll look to get these. Although as soon as the cage is in I'll need racing seats and harnesses. Can't go out on track with a cage and OEM seats and belts :(.
