Folks, anyone know a cheap place to get hold of Carbon cloth.  Mainly for cosmetic purposes, so i don't need anything too heavy and just a plane or herringbone weave.  I notice its being sold on e-bay, but i don't really know what i'm buying and certainly dont want that sticky back plastic crap halfords sell for chavs cars!

East Coast Fibre Glass supplies arent too expensive. http://www.ecfibreglasssupplies.co.uk/c-931-carbon-fibre-cloths.aspx
They've got plain weave, twill, and some crazy fish weave one which looks pretty cool.

surely if it for cosmetic purposes it would be as good to use that plastic from halfords, it would probably be lighter!

I should rephrase that, it is slightly structural but i want it to look good as its going to be fairly obvious.
