I was able to get hold of some door windows, from a friend of mine that was scrapping an Audi A3
He acquired the car for the engine and gearbox, and told me I could have whatever I wanted off of it
So 20 minutes later


So with these in the back of my car I set off up North as fast as I could to meet up with JD again  ;)
He told me I was making the right move and it will be worth it

So after a few hours of tea, bacon butties and talking about our cars I set off back home, knowing that my car is in the best hands
The next day I was sent these






The man works like a Trojan haha

Anyway, whilst up there, all the way home, and after sleeping bad because I couldn't stop stewing on it, I text JD and asked a couple of questions about quarter light glass

You are very persuasive JD  ;D ;D ;D ;)

These were delivered to him the very next day


Bring on that IVA process haha

Mick

The first 2 pics show cutting the correct shape for the new Ferrari quarter glass and making a new rebate. Also thinned down the b post and added a piece of 26mm o/d CDs tube inside for strength . Here's a few more

Wooooooooo jaw dropping result!!! It makes it look soooooo much better! He does it again!
How did u marry up that large panel gap? I have to do the same to my rear buttress... Have got some pics of that proces? Or can you make some when you are doing the other side?

If one turns up at the right price I will consider it, as it will be just a straight swap that i could do.
I have also seen this site http://www.plastics4performance.com/ferrari-360-lexan-rear-screen.html
So there are options  ;)
