Lexan... NOT perspex as it's too brittle

2nd for Lexan, won't shatter like perspex.

I am surprised... Perspex was good enough for World War two aircraft going into battle!
Although the Spitfire did have armoured glass in the front screen.



EDIT:
Although I would use Lexan for the car, as its stronger and cheaper than genuine Perspex!
