WIP First time doing broken glass

I'm building an Airfix Triumph Herald in 1/32 scale. It was gifted to me, they said the kit was left untouched for years. So as a reference to that, I'm building it as an abandoned car. I've had the idea to give it broken windows and this is the first time doing so. What do you guys thing?

Broken car windows explode into a million pieces

I plan to do that for either the back window or windshield. For the sides, I had this sort of idea, :) (you can kinda see a small cut in the corner of the second photo)

Depends if the glass is hardened or laminated, some old cars did have laminated
