Method for producing a plastics composite panel comprising a layer construction, more particularly for a motor vehicle: providing of a film layer construction, comprising at least two transparent plastics films (2a, 2c), and at least one adhesive layer which is arranged between pairs of adjacent plastics films (2a, 2c), which joins the two plastics films (2a, 2b) in each case and which is composed of a not completely solidified adhesive which is transparent at least in the solidified state; preforming of the film layer construction such that it comprises a shaping only approximate to an ultimate shaping; arranging of the preformed film layer construction in a shaping tool (20a, 20b), so that the film layer construction is arranged with a first main face facing a shaping surface of the shaping tool (20a, 20b) and that a cavity is formed between the shaping tool (20a, 20b) and a second main face of the film layer construction that faces away from the first main face; subsequent in-mould coating of the film layer construction in a thermally shaping method step with introduction into the cavity of a thermoplastic which is transparent at least in the consolidated state, so as to generate the layer construction as a moulding, where an arrangement of the first main face of the film layer construction bordering the shaping surface of the shaping tool (20a, 20b) and an ultimate shaping of the film layer construction that models the contour or the contours are achieved, so that the layer construction comprises at least a first, outer plastics film belonging to the film layer construction, a second, inner plastics film belonging to the film layer construction, an adhesive layer extending between first plastics film and second plastics film, and a thermoplastic layer formed by the thermoplastic and bordering the second main face of the film layer construction; solidifying of the at least one adhesive layer during the preforming and/or in-mould coating, so that the film layer construction is stabilized in accordance with the shaping surface; setting of the thermoplastic layer; and demoulding of the layer construction; characterized in that where one of the plastics films of the film layer construction has metallically translucent coating, and in that the shaping surface of the shaping tool (20a, 20b) forms one or more three-dimensional contours formed of planar faces which are angled relative to one another and which border one another in rectilinear edges. providing of a film layer construction, comprising at least two transparent plastics films (2a, 2c), and at least one adhesive layer which is arranged between pairs of adjacent plastics films (2a, 2c), which joins the two plastics films (2a, 2b) in each case and which is composed of a not completely solidified adhesive which is transparent at least in the solidified state; preforming of the film layer construction such that it comprises a shaping only approximate to an ultimate shaping; arranging of the preformed film layer construction in a shaping tool (20a, 20b), so that the film layer construction is arranged with a first main face facing a shaping surface of the shaping tool (20a, 20b) and that a cavity is formed between the shaping tool (20a, 20b) and a second main face of the film layer construction that faces away from the first main face; subsequent in-mould coating of the film layer construction in a thermally shaping method step with introduction into the cavity of a thermoplastic which is transparent at least in the consolidated state, so as to generate the layer construction as a moulding, where an arrangement of the first main face of the film layer construction bordering the shaping surface of the shaping tool (20a, 20b) and an ultimate shaping of the film layer construction that models the contour or the contours are achieved, so that the layer construction comprises at least a first, outer plastics film belonging to the film layer construction, a second, inner plastics film belonging to the film layer construction, an adhesive layer extending between first plastics film and second plastics film, and a thermoplastic layer formed by the thermoplastic and bordering the second main face of the film layer construction; solidifying of the at least one adhesive layer during the preforming and/or in-mould coating, so that the film layer construction is stabilized in accordance with the shaping surface; setting of the thermoplastic layer; and demoulding of the layer construction; characterized in that where one of the plastics films of the film layer construction has metallically translucent coating, and in that the shaping surface of the shaping tool (20a, 20b) forms one or more three-dimensional contours formed of planar faces which are angled relative to one another and which border one another in rectilinear edges.
