I have no idea about aftermarket conversions, but BMW offers armored versions of its sedans.

What do you want to stop - small caliber weapons or rocket launchers?

Only kidding - I know for a fact that BMW and mercedes make armoured cars - lol there is even a site specialising in armoured mercedes :

Look here as well

I don't think this is going to be a DIY job though.

I need the windows armored especially. There is tons of crime going on in Istanbul streets. Last week I got attacked by a thief. I was waiting at the light and he came out of nowhere. Me and my girlfriend were sitting in the car and first he tried to open the door. He couldn't cause it was locked. Then he took a knife (big one dunno the special name) out and tried to break the window. He cracked it. But couldn't break it.
