Try Yellow Pages, for car bodywork firms, some will have GRPP capabilities for GRP bodied cars & motorhomes. If you are near the coast any boat yard will be able to do it for you - as will any canoe maker. It's actually quite simple to do yourself, have a look for GRP suppliers, many have instructions on their web sites. You will need a blank first from which you can make a mould & then cast as many as you want from the mould. One-offs tend to be pricey due to the labour costs of making the blank & the mould before producing the end product.

Thanks a lot, not one of you mentioned the fact that I make custon grp mouldings and products for forumites and others alike, plus I have recently been working for a construction grp product company as a laminater, infact I am a very tallented man with my hands.

Eamonn - calm down!
I was going to point him towards you - but he is in Somerset - which is a long way for you to travel or ship something so big.

dont fall out lads thanks for the help

Just spam Pete.
Incidently Pete can you recommend any good freelance Architects around the Largs area who could draw up and submit plans for a dormer on the new flat at Millport?

Whoops, sorry, I simply didn't know - and I may not remember next time either when the Altzheimer's bites deeper.
