Thanks lads 🙂

It's 3mm Perspex safety mirror, cost about £30 for the peices and I cut with a metal blades jigsaw... Weigh a little over a number plate, so just 3M taped and tiger sealed, job done.

Could have got mirrored steel for a bit more but cutting would have been a pig and I was worried about weight as there big panels on the C...

cheers u send it just a a4 lol so see there 1500x1000 so should that be nuff alsou send me iris clear thought it should be mirror ???

leemarksmith

Sorry yeah that's not the mirror but is the company, just email them...

I made rough paper templates, then laid them on the floor to get a rough size for the sheet... Ended up just asking for 3 rectangular peices and they sent them...

You could just get the big one tho and trim up, but I'd still make the templates as you'll end up with load of waste.

leemarksmith

Now with matching rim tape... 🙂

It so easy to cut just buy rectangular sections and cut yourself...

Here's how I did the lights.

Need a mirror lol

leemarksmith

The top and bottom triangle look easy... The side ones don't look flat?

If that's the case you may need to split that in 2 or bend the mirror after heating it a little...

stu-2_2-sri
