Flat windows be a piece of piss, it's curved ones that end up with the characteristic chavvy looking bubbles lol

Assuming it can be put on polycarb yeah, never seen it but then most people with polycarbs cant be arsed with whether they're tinted or clear.

I see competition cars with tinted windows all the while lol was gonna opt for some super duper all heat reflecting whistle blowing silver tintage but it would look gash as fook on a silver car :(

Well with the silver you only do 3/4 of the front windows, leaving a section so you have a clear view of the mirror through normal glass. Else you sometimes get a rather odd hazy view out of them through silver tint. With the normal black type tint, just do the whole lot.

But gotta bear in mind this Corsa has no ventilation other then a pair of measley window vents, a roof vent & a couple of 12v blowers pulling air in via the scuttle. Its gonna get very hot out on the tarmac :S

It is lol all the heavy stuff from it has gone (glove box, airbags, MFD, heater console, fusbox & cover) blah blah blah. Manual steering rack, no elec mirrors, no aircon, no OE heater (new heater matrix weights 1kg!)
