just looking through ebay may be able to buy ohp acetate and print on that then stick it in the window but dont think IVA maa will be happy
and taking windows out isnt really an option but thanks for the thought

thought only the windscreen had to be marked?!
or is it that only the windcreen has to be made of glass?
could you make up some lexan windows for the test? (check IVA manual again, i think it might have changed since i last looked at windows

Is it allowed to replace it with plastic?
I personal would not like to have real glass behind my back unless it is safety glass.
Please feel free to correct my bad English, i'm still learning. Your Dutch is awfull! :-)

always read the manual
3.
Windscreens must be “Safety Glazing” made from glass and display the relevant markings. (see note 2 and table 1)
4.
All other windows (including sunroofs and removable glass panels) and side-screens must be “Safety Glazing” (which may be made from glass, or from
plastic)

I'm sure, if you can show documentation showing that the windows are laminated that counts as well!
eg. a reciept from the kit company.
Could be worth a phone call

I think you are going to have a draughty car unitl after IVA.
I think the IVA guy will see through your cunning plan (no pun intended.....)

surly we cant present a car for IVA with 3 windows missing??? if it was a 7 or cobra type it wouldnt be a problem but this must be against the rules
as its a fuly enlcolsed cock pit ie with a roof.

If its not fitted they cant test it, nothing in the manual about cars having to have windows
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

I would whip out the windows and fit some edge trim round the openings.
However I have read, on other forums, that the IVA inspector may class a closed vehicle with window apertures as "an incomplete vehicle"
(if no glazing was fitted) and therefore will not test the car.
I hear that the exemption to use kite marked BS glass has been extended to April 2011.....
[Edited on 28/7/10 by minitici]
Further reading indicates that not fitting side and rear glass may be acceptable so long as the glass was not designed to be bonded in and be a
structural part of the shell.
So traditional rubber seal mounted glass may be OK to leave off.....

Talk to your VOSA man and ask what they will and will not accept. Also read the IVA manual.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Blake is right, you will have to have the glazing marked  It may be worth checking on http://www.gt40s.com/forum/ to see what they do.
