Plastic 4 performance cost me £220 for the rear three, fully moulded, oem mountings and black trims, very good quality and great service.
If my car doesnt sell on ebay it will be split for parts and the windows will definately be for sale.

If you want then purely for weight reduction they can be cheap but look shite
PErsonal opinion is oem style rear 1/4 and boot glass thenfronts with slidy holes
Could also invest in a heated windscreen to rid yourself of that meddlesome heaterbox

If your getting an oil cooler and you have no need for it, it is more of a pain than a benefit. Instead of keeping the oil cool it will just stop it heating up at all. Only really needed for turbo stuff. You can get ones that you can turn of with the turn of a valve though

Well dont the thermo sandwich plates do that? So keep the oil at the right temp?
What does polycarb windows weight compared to standard.
I would like to get car down to 800-850k but 800k prefered.

im running an oil cooler, the temperature sits around 80 Degrees C as thats what my sandwich plate thermostat is set to.
It doesnt take any longer that I noticed to heat up the oil and doesnt over cool!
Apart from NOS and some exhaust mods and BMC im not a tuned car at all either... a good buy to keep the minerals in your oil for longer and increase the life of your engine.

Full weld in cromo or t45 cage and start swiss cheesing everything always does a nice job. You can cut the entire front end of the car relatively easily. Dump the rear beam and rip out the hole boot floor. Then just drop in a live rear end with a alloy floor skin would shed you a tone of weight. Anything is possible. All depends what regulations your building the car to.

What would you need to get rid of to get car down to about 800kg? This figure i would be very happy with so will be looking at more weight loss in near future.
