I work for autowindscreens (only for 3 more weeks!) import glass is a nightmare to get mate. Yes the uk spec one would fit but will look wrong. Have you asked if anyone on here has got one? or ask your insurance company if you can use someone else.

If your window is green mate then should be able to get one easily.
