They look spot on. Well done for making them.

It's about time someone pulled their finger out and sorted these.

Good luck with selling them, although you shouldn't need any luck as at half the price of OE it's a no brainer.

and what is the weight difference between OE and these fancy ones?
Do the OE units have a rebate too?

Looks FANTASTIC :-)

:idea: Shouldn't we be removing weight from the other end of a GTA?




(I do like them, honest). :lol:

Lee, VERY tastey mate!
2P5T, any weight is heavy, there is more straights than corners most of the time.

I've also lost all the other glass apart from the windscreen so it still balances out but the GTA does suffer from a light front .
I should get all the other bits in a few weeks ,all side glass and the rear screen are being done .If anyone is interested ?

They have been available for ages :roll:

Yes that is true, just no one wanted them until the glass ones went super expensive a few months ago so the moulds have been sitting dormant for ages. Glass ones used to be £100 each so made the polycarb look expensive.

and it takes 6 years for them to arrive same ole sh1t


Simply not true. The last set went next day delivery before I left for Germany.

Here's the pics before they were dispatched:

Exact copies £150 pair. May even come from the same place for all I know.

Good luck with selling them, although you shouldn't need any luck as at half the price of OE it's a no brainer


You would think so but these are £50 cheaper and and people don't even seem to want to pay that much.

Lined version looks nice though!
