| Hi, I'm looking for custom bricks, specifically existing bricks that were
never released in certain colours. I want 2 Windscreen 6152 brick pieces, one
transparent black and one transparent white, but they were never made in those
colours. Any ideas?
Thank you.

“Custom” parts as in “not made by LEGO” are not allowed on BrickLink.
“Made by LEGO and modified / cut / painted / chromed” aren’t allowed either.
For parts made by LEGO but not released in sets (= not “known”), that is, parts
made for LEGOLAND builds, special occasions, or tests, they may be sold on BrickLink.
BUT, there’s recently been parts made in LEGO’s factories but by dishonest employees,
mostly in trans-colours. Those are not allowed here.
For
well, for starters, there’s two variants,
and AFAICT, all the colours that are available for sale are known colours.
So the colours you’re wanting are either extremelly rare or were never “LEGO
products” and therefore won’t be found on this site.

I don’t know and producing such parts would be counterfeiting and it’s illegal.

Those parts are well over 20 years old. The patent is likely expired. The minifig
shape is copyrighted though.

Could I ask Lego or someone if they could make the bricks I want in the colours
I want?
Btw this isn't like an urgent thing I'm after. If not's possible
then its no big deal. I just have some custom made cars that would look a bit
better with a transparent windscreen.

Can't you use a similar windscreen part in the right colour instead?

I can't find a windscreen part that looks like the one I'm after and
they fit on the cars I have. Also the colour wouldn't fit with the rest of
the car and I'm very OCD about stuff like that.

That's the thing about LEGO. You can change designs to get different parts
to fit.

| You need to find someone with a 3D printer near you.
Not sure what they can produce in trans colours though.

A few seller has trans-clear minifig hands listed but no known source of those
hands. And no way to tell if the said minifig hand are genuine LEGO not used
in any sets or if they are counterfeit.
