Where can I go to get perspex cut to size and drilled cheaply?

I just bought a double sub box with diagonally facing 10" subs with a perpex front, cost me £20 (100% legit)

Anyway Perspex is bit goosed, used an electric sander on it to see if it would look good 'frosted'

hence it didn;'t work

I need to know where to go that'll do the above for me, and how much will it cost?

CTR headlights are made of perspex so stones can't break them

if you want a frosted effect, i can sort you out with an etched glass effect vinyl film.

How thick and what size does the perspex need to be? i might have some spare.

What you wanting to do, perspex can be used for this depending on how much 'bending' is needed u may need to make a mould like in school

I used to love DT lessons

Thinking of doing a homebrew heat sheild for my induction kit. Will bend the perspex, then spray it body colour

. should find a mould easy enough i recon. Sadly dont have a strip heater handy, like at school

. Ah well, moms grill in the cooker will have to do
