| 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! |

| 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.
