ok..don't fit any gubbins...fill the slots temporarily with a sprinkling of permanence and who is to say that they ever were/will be fitted??? that's the way I would read the regs.

wasn't the rs200 body basically a reliant made shell with various bits robbed from the sierra parts bin? The doors were cut down sierra items. I know yours is a kit, but if the doors follow the profile of the original rs200 wouldn't sierra door glass fit? Or add a quarter-light window to fill the triangular area, then you just need a straight sided piece of glass to fill the rest, which surely there must be a donor vehicle out there with the right curvature...

Sadly the door profile is different on this kit - MRS:  RS200:  It's not wildly different though. I did look at some sierra windows and the profile looked off a bit off - it looks shorter:  |

Yup - had a look and could only find 4 door ones...
I wonder if there are any aftermarket 'E' rated plastic Sierra 2 door windows - anyone know?

As far as I know these are marked for motorsport and not the E markings for road/IVA - I'll double check with them though. I already have a set of windows that fit that are from a similar company... But not IVA e marked.... The most infuriating thing begin that there probably a lot safer that safety glass! |

Spoke to P4P today - they can replicate my non E marked windows for E marked ones, so great suggestion and thanks! |

that's taking minimalism to the max! to my wonky eye it would look even better with the cabling hidden though.

No - But it's pretty easy to get through if things are clean and simple. |

Will definitely be tidying the cables a bit - and it won't pass IVA like that - however I plan to do it similar and not the same - the design will be similar, but not identical - this pic is more inspiration  |
