No worries lad. I'm in the same boat as yourself atm had to get my glass replaced a while back and could only get hold of a clear class. Has a slight blueish/green tint to it but nothing you can do you can't get a dead clear one afaik. It bugs the S*!t out of me but most of my mates don't even recognise it lol

Yea bugs me too but guess i'll have to live with it... I wouldn't bother trying to tint the blue as it's almost too blue and doubt it would help.. and my mates never recognised it then 1 said i should change all the glass to the blue because it looks soo good lol... to be honest i never even noticed it till guy i bought it off mentioned it to me.. :roll: i think it looks too modern with anything other than the bronze.. maybe thats just me though.. will hopefully sort something out...

That's the reason I changed all the glass to blue in my Barcelona Green EF9 as the windscreen broke taking it out.

Looks proper odd having different colour glass when it rains on them.

If you don't mind me asking how much you picked up all the blue glass for Tahir? Gona weigh my options up and get something sorted even if it means the glass lying in the garage for a while... If definitely stands out when it rains... :shock: thanks

The tailgate glass usually come with the tail gate, I've not had it cut out ever but...

Someone breaking a 4g should be able to provide the lot minus a windscreen for £100, that's £20 a piece basically.

Windscreen I've not had fitted but I just got a quote for a screen plus new seal fitted for £155. Or through insurance it's £75.

that sounds pretty reasonable... only a matter of me getting the bootlid painted then i guess?? and fit the rest of the glass? I'd rather get the blue screen refitted and the seal isn't the greatest or as neat as i'd like it to be.. I'm assuming all the boot lids are the same too so doesnt really matter which i get as long as it has the right glass i'm looking for?

Well the UK bootlid is different in the way that it needs a hole drilling at the top where wiring for the 3rd brake light goes through.
