Product information
Race Plastics polycarbonate windows are handcrafted to order by our expert UK team. Designed for motorsport and high-performance use, they’re lightweight, tough, and completely shatterproof—unlike glass or standard acrylics, which can crack under stress.
Our standard windows use 4mm polycarbonate to meet Motorsport UK regulations. We also offer 5mm options that are FIA compliant, plus hard-coated variants for added durability and resistance to scratching.
All windows are available in clear, bronze, or grey tint to suit your vehicle’s design. You can also add window sliders to either or both front doors, depending on your setup.
Window Sliders
Each slider kit is made from the same polycarbonate as your chosen windows. Designed for both driver and passenger sides, these sliders are reliable, practical, and easy to install.
Choose between:
- Three-position locking with a smooth, rattle-free action
- Simple two-position setup for fast and secure use
Sliders are engineered to avoid scratching and sit flush with your window kit. Ideal for improving airflow on track days or road builds. More info is available on our Window Slider Kits page.
Shipping times
Once your order’s confirmed, we’ll get started. Most standard orders are manufactured and dispatched within 3 weeks. Custom or hard-coated versions may take a little longer—we’ll contact you with a lead time. If you need your order by a specific date, let us know and we’ll aim to meet it.
Can I fit the windows myself?
Yes, installation is usually straightforward. There are helpful videos online, and our windows are designed to fit into standard rubber seals unless otherwise noted. If you need bolt-in variants, just contact us.
Can I collect my order?
Collection from our UK facility is available by arrangement. Most international orders are shipped, but we’re happy to sort collection if needed—just get in touch.
Want to change your order?
Reach out as early as possible. We’ll always try to accommodate changes, but if manufacturing has already started, there may be a charge.

The Talbot Samba rally car
The Talbot Samba, launched in 1981, was Talbot’s last attempt at making a small, practical, and fun-to-drive supermini before the brand disappeared. Based on the Peugeot 104 platform, the Samba was designed to compete in the booming supermini market against cars like the Renault 5, Ford Fiesta, and Volkswagen Polo. Though often overlooked today, the Samba was a well-engineered little hatchback that delivered practicality, economy, and even a surprising dose of driving fun.
Talbot needed a compact, efficient city car, and the Samba was their answer. Available in three-door and cabriolet versions, it offered a lightweight chassis, simple but effective engineering, and a range of small, fuel-efficient engines. These four-cylinder petrol engines ranged from 954cc to 1.4 litres, producing between 45 and 80 horsepower, depending on the trim level. While the lower-powered models were built for fuel economy, the 1.4-litre Samba Rallye model turned the Samba into a genuinely fun little pocket rocket.
The Samba Rallye was the most exciting version, designed for homologation purposes in rallying. It featured a rev-happy 1.2-litre or 1.4-litre engine, depending on the year, producing 72 horsepower, a decent amount for such a lightweight car. With sportier suspension, stripped-down weight, and a no-nonsense driving feel, the Rallye was an engaging, feisty little hatchback that thrived on being driven hard.
Despite its humble origins, the Samba had real motorsport pedigree. Competing in Group B rallying, the Samba Rallye proved that lightweight, front-wheel-drive cars could be serious contenders on tricky terrain. It may not have been as wild as some of its turbocharged rivals, but its agility, simplicity, and reliability made it a fan-favourite in smaller rally events.
On the road, the Samba was surprisingly nimble, with light steering, good visibility, and a tight turning radius, making it perfect for city driving. It wasn’t luxurious, but it was comfortable enough for daily use, with straightforward interior controls and a functional dashboard. While it may not have had the same charm as some of its rivals, it made up for it by being tough, economical, and easy to maintain.
One of the Samba’s most unique features was the cabriolet version, making it one of the only superminis of its time to offer an open-top driving experience. Developed by Peugeot and styled by Pininfarina, the Samba Cabriolet added a touch of fun and style to the lineup, giving budget-conscious buyers a rare chance to own an affordable convertible.
Despite being a well-engineered and practical small car, the Samba struggled in the competitive supermini market. Talbot was already fading by the mid-1980s, and by 1986, the brand was discontinued, marking the end of the Samba’s production run. It was replaced indirectly by the Peugeot 205, which went on to become one of the most successful small cars of all time.
Today, the Talbot Samba is a rare find, but those who own one appreciate its quirky character, rally heritage, and lightweight, fun-to-drive nature. It may not have had the same lasting impact as some of its competitors, but for a brief time, the Samba proved that Talbot could still make a great small car, even if it was their last.
