Kojab,
Thanks for your PM - I’ve contacted the company to find out about the manufacturer of the glass.
TwoDogs,
Thanks - I’ve sent Josh/MR2 Wreckers a message earlier today, awaiting a response for second hand OEM item.
Groper,
Thanks a lot for the heads up, I have decided to go against O’Brien as other reputable stores around me have quoted less and are also providing Chinese glass (FuYao is the most common now, after also trying a few more stores since yesterday - but apparently they are slightly more preferred to XYG based on some online forum reading too). Will definitely be removing the grille myself prior then, and if i nominate a mobile service - I will definitely be keeping staying with the car and keeping an eye out.
It appears either way, that any aftermarket option will have blue tinting toward the top of the windscreen, based off photographs I’ve seen. My OEM one is clear all the way to the top - but hopefully this just take a bit of getting used to.
Thanks a lot to everyone that has responded though, I will be getting the windscreen replaced hopefully next week, and I’ll keep you updated!
