Thanks hope to see you at some shows this year.

This is an absolutely fascinating project! I have shown this thread and the complete product thread to family and friends; all are massively impressed- even though some are not car people- they all want one!

It's a very nicely executed conversion, can I ask did you use the standard BMW rear windows, or did you have the glass custom made?

Hi Brian,
Yes standard 4 series glass comes complete with trim (not cheap though)
