Product information
Our polycarbonate windows are hand crafted to order by our experienced UK based team. They are designed to be safe, strong and lightweight, making them ideal for motorsport. They are much stronger than glass and shatterproof, unlike Perspex and other acrylics, so you are well protected whilst driving.
Our standard windows are manufactured from 4mm thick polycarbonate to comply with Motorsport UK regulations, whilst we also offer 5mm FIA compliant and hard-coated options for those looking tougher windows.
All of our windows are available in a choice of clear, bronze or grey polycarbonate so can choose the windows that best suit your car. You also have the option to add window sliders to either one or both of the front door windows depending on your preference.
How long does an order take to ship?
We will confirm receipt of your order straight away and will be in touch if we have any questions regarding your order. Standard polycarbonate orders are usually manufactured and despatched within 1-2 weeks of the order being placed. Specialist orders - for example if you choose hard-coating plastic - will take longer, but we will contact you and discuss this with you. If you need your order by a certain date then please let us know.
Can I fit the window myself?
Yes, it is straight forward to remove an existing window and install a RacePlastics polycarbonate window. There are plenty of guides on YouTube to help you do this.
Can I collect the order myself?
Yes, we usually courier orders out to our customers, but if you contact us, we can arrange for collection from our Leeds factory.
How can I change my order?
If you need to discuss or change your order in any way, please get in touch with the team at the earliest chance. We will always try to accommodate any changes but costs may be incurred if the manufacturing process has already started.

The Talbot Sunbeam MK1 rally car
The Talbot Sunbeam MK1, a compact and unassuming hatchback on the surface, etched its name into the annals of rally history with a performance that belied its modest appearance. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Talbot entered the rallying scene with the Sunbeam Lotus, a variant that bore the influence of the iconic British sports car manufacturer. Underneath its hood lay a potent 2.2-liter Lotus engine, propelling the Sunbeam into the ranks of formidable rally contenders. The rear-wheel-drive configuration, coupled with its lightweight chassis, bestowed the Sunbeam Lotus with exceptional agility and responsiveness, making it a force to be reckoned with on the rally stages. Its distinctive white and green livery, adorned with the Talbot name, became a familiar sight as the Sunbeam danced through gravel, mud, and tarmac, leaving spectators in awe of its prowess.
The Sunbeam Lotus, with its charismatic combination of power and finesse, clinched numerous victories in the World Rally Championship (WRC), showcasing its prowess across diverse terrains. Piloted by legendary drivers such as Henri Toivonen and Guy Frequelin, the Sunbeam left an indelible mark in rallying, securing the Manufacturers' title in 1981. Beyond its achievements, the Sunbeam Lotus cultivated a passionate following among rally enthusiasts who admired its distinctive engine note and the dynamic driving style it demanded. Today, the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus remains a cherished classic in the rally community, symbolizing an era where innovation, skillful driving, and the spirit of competition converged to create an enduring legacy in the world of motorsports.
