Basically I wanna fabricate some 'fins' to my rear bumper on my astra (project thread en route)
Where would be the best place to buy a sheet of theroplastic about 2cm thick but only need about 30cm2 sheet anyway, so online is a possibility. I can't seem to find places anywhere!
Cheers

You can get acrylic from a few places on eBay. RS also sell it.

Though I doubt you'll find 2cm thick easily, do you mean 2mm? For that thickness you will want polycarbonate or HIPS which can be found from eBay or RS too.

No 2 cm definatly . . I have seen someone using a clear plastic for doing the same sort of thing. Actually just looked at a tape measure n 1cm would do. Then again I'll happily have 2x5mm n join them. Together . . .
Ed if you could link me to something well suited I would really really appreciate it. Thanks alot
