I know the width would be fine - just need to check the height.

Cheers :thumb:

Went to my metal supplier for some stainless steel sheet for my heatshields.
They have an offcut of 1.5mm aluminium sheet around 120cm by 45cm. Any good to you at

Will take the rear seats out and measure up tomorrow Eddy - thanks

115 x 50 cm is the size of the hole.

Looks like it will have to be the grey plastic twinwall then mate unless you want to wait for a larger offcut of aluminium.
Let me know ok

Thanks Eddy

Been looking at some Carbon Fibre:

for 1mm thick or 2mm thick:

Doesnt seem too expensive seeing as I would have loads left over (ie half of it) for other stuff.

1mm will be fine i think mate.

Not sure exactly how thick mine is but its gotta be about 1mm

Well Duncan,
Stu is not at all correct about your being tight if you are going to pay that sort of money lol.

I would prefer a cheaper option to be honest but would need to be thin so that i can leave it in place and still re-install the rears seats - I dont think the twin wall placstic would let me do that.

Ally would be preferred cheapest option

i dunno if this is any help but while i was in watton earlier, just wondering if 'Emerald' were open i found a company who it stated were carbon fibre specialists.
