Default Help! - Supplier needed for Plastic CORREX Sheets

Guys,

I had an idea for making our "stands" look much better in 2014.
Imagine a race track with red and white curbs...



If we had some red/white plastic Correx Sheets we could make it look like a racetrack corner.
Then with the aid of some service ramps we could make the cars look like they have two wheels off the ground (I'm sure we have people who can get a few of these too).

If it goes to plan we can position some cars to make them look like they have serious oversteer, etc like in race scenario.

It's only an "idea"..... please DON'T put anything negative in your reply.

But to try it out I need to get something that looks like a red/white curb.

Anyone know anyone who can supply some CORREX sheeting? I don't mind spending my own money but would also consider free advertising for the supplier...

Whatever solution we come up with it must be able to fit into the car.
Sorry, MDF will be far too big.

I spent my lunchtime today looking at loads of places.
Just thought I would ask the community to see if we can get something cheap/free.

EDIT: Ahhhh, CORREX - I was Googling Corex. Silly me.

OK. So I have found the following...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100ft-WHIT...p2054897.l4276

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/100ft-RED-...p2054897.l4276

I REALLY would like to have the plastic pre-printed red/white every 1m...

but if I have to merge the two rolls to make it then it migth be worth a try.

What do people think? Is it worth it?
