Sorry about that... just realised I had exceeded the free photobucket bandwidth. Oops:whistle:

Fixed now as I just paid for unlimited :)

Sorry about that gentlemen.

I like them...but I would say that as I have them too...in black and chrome... :)

Any DIY/plumbers place/homedepot will have it. It is used as a joint sealer..quite thick metal foil, sticky (very sticky) backed and comes in a roll. Should cost no more than $5 for a roll.

Thankyou.

Right then...that previous attempt above... not at all happy with it as the edges were just not straight enough and it didn't sit right... but easy enough to take off and do a new panel....
