Chop it.
Rubbers for chopped windows are just the normal ones cut down and stuck together with super glue.
Worked for me years ago.

Not
just looks better at stock with what you have planned. Other designs etc, may look better chopped, but not this time.

IF you do decide to chop it, just make sure you factor in a significant chunk of time and additional funds to your project budget/timeline. I'm not knocking it, but are you going to go with that graphic on the doors or is that just a bit of a piss take? Looks a little fast and furious. 🤖
The beauty of this hobby is that everyone is individual though, and if everyone's car looked the same because everyone's taste was the same....it would be boring!
So going from experience, make sure you get some opinions (if you really want them), but go with your gut instinct - if you like something then do it, if everyone else likes something different who cares, you have to drive it and live with your decision every day. With the list of mods you have planned, I envisage the project will be quite long term, so also expect your plans to change several times throughout the process (as I found out) so don't be too worried about finalising every single aspect of the project before you even start - have a plan but be prepared to be flexible (mainly when time or money runs out).
Best of luck - hope you see it through to completion.

Nothing wrong with cutting up a bit of metal. You just have to make it look right, and not disproportionate! Yeah? 🙂

If u gonna have artwork, don't use stickers, doesn't look as kool or pro.
Certainly got an awesome direction in what ur bug will look like though.

one of the cars in the sydney Flat4 club is a 1302 with a choptop. To start with it only had standard wheels, but they've changed it and I reckon it looks tops now. I'd be proud to own it myself.

Sometimes less is more.
So on your original drawing you've got big rims, big colour, graphics, black bonnet, black engine lid, front spoiler....and now a chop top.
The picture above has a nice single colour, wheels, and stance. Simple but effective.
Perhaps you just need to work out exactly what you want, without trying to do it all in one go.
