Perspex scratches very easily, and IIRC is illegal for windscreens and front sides, but makes good sense for the rear door glasses.

You joke about clingfilm, but I can cut serious kg by getting all my glass replaced with exact copy perspex, which will look and feel the same as glass in action, but weigh a shed load less. With all the money in the world I can get all the rest of the panels on the car done in carbon fibre (wide arch WRC look too ) and save well over 200kg.

Go for 1mm Lexan polycarbonate as perspex cracks easily. You can replace side glass and rear glass (not sure about front sides, my mate did it with an XJS) and save quite a lot of weight high up. Does scratch and does go yellow after a while though.

1 of my pals had his bonnet painted in gloss black and it looked pretty sweet like it was on an orange car but i've got a Black carbon fibre bonnet on my SILVER car and it looks mint so my choice would have to be black mate

DON'T go black, a local taxi company as white cars with black bonnetts
