Perspex?

[jamiebennett81]

I am looking to get some perspex, thick enough to live with the bumpy road, but thin enough to be flexible. Although the perspex is going to be wrapped anyway...

Would 2mm perspex do the job?

depends on 'the job' really.

see no reason why not. (apart from a big F.O stone hitting it square on, of course.

ha ha

would rather cut myself another replacement perspex fog light shaped sheet (costing all of £3) than pay £80 for a new fog

 

[Brummy]

true.

You can go thicker than 2mm if you want, although 2mm will do the job perfectly fine. If you want thicker, just warm it up before you try and bend it.

I'm fairly sure that most lenses are normally around 2mm anyway, so it will work as well as a normal lens. But obviously be cheaper to replace when it gets damaged.

Lexan? Might not even be that expensive for the size area you're talking about It won't flex or bend but it will be stone proof.

The whole fig light unit and cover it sits in is being replaced with a cleaner looking finish I.e. A Perspex blanking plate which is to be covered
