Default Are all classic windscreens the same?

I've got a v4 type r and the windscreen company are flapping about not being sure as to what to order.

Are 2 door front screens different to 4 doors?

Thanks

AFAIK, they are the same, but I'm sure an expert will be along soon.

Apparently, there are thinner glass windows for Type RA's etc, (does this refer to windSCREENS too?), and maybe different tints? But size, I reckon the same.

Why don,t they just bring both? If you,ve got a jap import mate the screen may be bronze tint. Uk spec will be green.

3 Shades, green, blue and clear, RA's are thinner.

Bird on the phone was saying the 2 door windscreen sits at a shallower angle than the 4 door ones so it's a different one

I wasn't that convinced by her tho (don't think she was either)

It's all a myth about RA's having lighter glass.
