You may need to modify some of the colours so that they will print well.

Any glass merchant will cut you a piece of picture glass to the right size, and they should be able to cut out the holes too. Alternatively you can cut Perspex yourself.
Yeah I think Paul's right there. Otherwise I'd say use Perspex by choice as getting a new glass with holes drilled is not going to be cheap and you won't tell the difference.
