Status: offline 		Yeah,they only had it in 8mm...So it was that way or the highway...I think tha 8mm after all is good.I wont have any problems with cutting because i ordered it with the exact dimensions the chassis has,so i have to cut it only in front and back from the wings.And the 8mm wont bend as easily.I don't know if it weights too much...It is 5kilos

Metal has become so expensive in England that a new type of thief has come around, so called the metal thiefs, they dig up telephone lines for their copper, steal bits of metal off houses and churches and they even take the trim of expensive cars like aluminium bonnets.


That's been going on since the 50s.
