:D Hi all
Any one know a good source for some heavy duty [ yellow] background .I have already made some patterns so just need a piece to cut them from. I know L.T. sell it loose 'but they certainly know how to stick a zero or two on some random items :roll: 'and i don't mind them making a profit' just not from me :lol: .

:D Thanks all
The b@gger of it is until a few weeks ago we had a firm on the the local trading estate where you could just drop in and get a sh!t load of it for a tenner :evil: 'in any colour including fluorescent yellow' just right for D.I.Y. Nb plates.

I used to use good ole fashioned 'Blue Peter' sticky backed plastic, on a roll from local hardware shop...
but Off Road Only do sell 'thin' backgrounds (13' x 14') for a quid a sheet or £6-99 for a pack of 10.
They also do heavy duty thick sheets for £4-32. Red, black, green, yellow, clear, white and blue.
Also, they sell precut thick backgrounds for the popular headlight units, Acerbis elba, DHH, HP and UFO dual beam, ghibli and shining £4-95 each ( red, green, yellow)

also interesting..since the change in regs for number plates, its blinking tricky to get the blank plates and stick on letters, but ORO still offer small or large ally plates and the digits to make yer own. (Ass covered with disclaimer that they arent Road Traffic Act legal!)
