Today I had my first drive with my new windscreen in place. As you can see, it has a slight curvature in it. I'm really happy with the result, but it was A LOT of work, and wouldn't do it again.

Very nice
Where did you get that windscreen surround from?

very fancy car

Very very nice.

EDIT: out of interest what is it made out of and how did you go bout curving it?

It's laminated glass. Custom made. I supplied them the flat pattern, and the radius of curvature I wanted, and they made it. It was made by a company called Autoglas D&K here in Holland (link)

I made the carbon cover myself, as well as the actual windscreen frame. The basis is steel tubing, cut and welded a zillion times to get the complex curvature..... The frame has two legs that extend through the scuttle and bolt to the chassis.

Nice job! It's surprising what such a subtle curve does for the looks of the car.

Just a little bit of constructive criticism - the CF surround look a little heavy. Can you trim a little bit off it to make it thinner?

All IMHO of course

Hey Marcel,

That looks great, i like the donkey look of it. One other question, can you give me the hella number of the front blinkers?

Nah, I can't trim anything off, and neither do I want to. I see what you mean, but to me it makes the car look a bit more modern, and that's how I like it.

@Roy; the number on the glass is 152 128. I don't know if it's of any help. But is just a regular Hella light; normally it has three mounting tabs around the circumference, but I cut them off.

Big thanks for that one
