Nice car... I can see why you would want poly windows for your car, but Im trying to make mine a better road car with better performance... I still have air con, quality stereo and electric windows in mine as its a proper GT car.... Im going on a cruise round europe in it next week taking in Monaco and ending camping in le mans!

Had a few more coats of laquer applied so whilst still not finished it looks a whole lot better Smile

It all depends on the individual, personally I need as little weight as possible (With only 235hp). 

My doors made from 100% Aramid with 4mm Margard windows and with locking mechanisms and door cards they weigh in at 4.2kg each! (Painting them will add more weight).

With regards to Poly windows flexing, you would need to make non pillar-less doors and thermo moulded windows from P4P.

To be fair with the amount of weight saving on the car, keeping glass windows as a nod to practicality is a good idea if you plan to drive it on the road.

My last "project car" was a stripped out tarmac rally/track beast with no interior, climbing frame to get in, window sliders, no heater etc and for the sake of 20kg I would have rather had the windows and heater.

With my current car im keeping electric windows and some form of heater.  At least that way i can drive it when i want.

Looks really nice!

I have a question, why would you use glass in the doors over polycarbonate? And do you really need them working? 

Andrew


I made some poly windows... they where too flexible and I want my windows to open fully... i actually remade the entire winder mechanism to make it go down further than standard at same time as making them electric, ended up a few grams lighter as well.
