When I bought my unfinished Hawk kit, I was lucky enough to find that it had a 'normal' set of perspex door windows and also a set of the 'group buy' glass windows too.
When I get the car back from paint in a few weeks time, I'm wondering which way to go.
I know that the glass windows will pass the IVA due to the E markings etc.
I'm fairly sure that the perspex windows will fail as I don't have the exemption letter that I think Gerry used to provide.
I realise that the glass will be far more scratch resistant than perspex but I also realise that glass is much more brittle than perspex when trapped or struck with a sharp edge.
Decisions, decisions.
:confused:
Would anyone who has fitted the glass windows care to pass on their own feelings / comments.
Anyone who deliberately avoided the glass window 'group buy' care to offer their thoughts on the subject.
Positive or negative? I have no intention of starting a heated debate here on the 'for vs. against'
All I need is the benefit of your experience to help me make my own decision.
Thanks in anticipation.
