Depending on what type of doors you've got... it wouldn't be too difficult to make a sliding section of Lexan with ali runners (or even
Lexan if you are careful).
Alternatively - again only reallyworks if you've got solid i.e. Lexan/perspex windows rather than the flexible hood-type windows - you could fit
something like one of the vents on here
Edit - actually, the first type looks like something you could make yourself

S3 land rovers have sliding windows. They might be worth a look for modding the runners to suit your application. Top part of the door is removable.

Or you could try making your own like this. True locost option.
The site is for making them for an aircraft but im sure it could be applied to a kit car
