No, not allowed for front glass, has to be laminated, and... perhaps you guessed? E marked!
There are specialised suppliers who can do that, cut to my own pattern. There is a deep groove in the frame the glass pushes up into the groove which you fill with silicone sealer, or ordinary putty. Once set it's pretty solid. The problem is the wipers, they will take a lot of fiddling with. Experimenting with different wheel boxes and positions to get the best sweep. Old series II and III Land Rover wipers are said to be best, but it will be very time consuming. Washers will of course be a doodle.
Couldnt you get Michael to sit alongside and lean out the window with a squeejy on a long stick?
A friend of mine had a Citroen Light15 (maigret car) with running boards and....manual wipers worked off handles inside.
We went to Norwich to see his visiting football team play and driving round Norwich ring road in the pouring rain I got repetitive stress injury trying to work both wiper handles.
What was more interesting was we were approached twice on the 20miles ring road (when at traffic lights) with people wanting to buy it off him!!! He reckoned that happened wherever he went.
So you may have to put up with some 'attention', when its on the road.
