Converting Clubman to Minivan

My new chile red clubman will be arriving in a week or so and I am preparing to make it look as closely as I can like the red Austin Minivan I had back in the 60's.

I wish I could recolor the C Columns from black to Chile Red, but I want to at least add window covers to the rear side windows and perhaps the back door windows as well.

Since these items with artwork are standard products in Europe for the Clubvan, I was hoping to be able to find a fit up kit here. I have not had a lot of luck with pre-configured so far although I have found lots of vinyl and other window films.

Can anyone offer advice?

How about vinyl wrapping the windows? Should be relatively cheap and easy. And you can get pretty much any artwork you like on them.

Thanks.

I realize I can design my own and will be doing that but I cannot find the dimension information for the windows. I can get solid vinyl inexpensively and there are transparent reflective options available that would look solid from the outside but provide see through looking out.

The clubman has 5 windows that could take covering, or 3 if the back barn doors are left alone.

I was hoping to find a standard service that had the dimensions and could take custom artwork as well as matching the body color.

Since the windows have an embedded black pattern, the covers must be applied to the outside to avoid the polka dot appearance.

The picture of the van is useful. I like the graphic continuously on the passenger back window and the club door window. I was wondering how that would look.
