Is there a UK company that makes one off Windscreens?
Either glass or Plastic of some sort?

Cheers

If it is flat glass and not a new car then most glass companies can supply a
suitable piece of laminated with polished edges. If it is a new car it will
have to have all the right approval stamps/marks.

For a curved piece try Uroglass in Bromsgrove. (01527 577477 but check as
it's an old advert I'm looking at). They do short runs for the kit car
industry etc and certainly used to do one-offs as well. Beware, a Google
search will take you to the American Uroglass company which is unrelated.
I'm not sure how you specify the shape of a curved screen.

Most plastics are unsuitable for windscreens as they are not hard enough to
withstand scratching by windscreen wipers. There could be some fancy
aerospace plastics (at aerospace prices) but you would need to check
legality for car use.

windscreens have to meet standards... the cost of testing is prohibative for
one off work.

SVA will require proof your windscreen meets the standards.

Plastic will scratch.. windscreen wipers will ruin it in short order.

Pick a windscreen thats's close to what you want and build round it...
( a rear screen will probably not meet the front windscreen standard )

I wish you luck sorting your problem.

The screen it has is plastic, Im sure. the problem is it looks like
someone has been using an angle grinder near it and it has lots of
tiny little bits of metal melted into the screen.

Its ok to drive but I suspect the wipers wont last long should I turn
them on.

Trevor (me (AT) privacy (DOT) net) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :

In that case, almost any windscreen fitters should be able to cut one to
size/shape.
