	Hi, in the process of getting my interior re done, the trimmer said if I strip the door cards it will have me labour costs etc, so pulled the old material off which has been glued in the past, I need to make a new panel which the trimmer will re cover, what came off looks to be very thin plastic with foam on it, does anyone know where I can get a sheet of this stuff, or what would be good to use instead, I thought 1mm plywood or something possibly might work Thanks Paul.

	Hardboard might be a more suitable thing than plywood, I've bought some sheets of that ready to make the rear cards for my project. Where it curves around the top of the rear quarter it would have been moulded into shape, but I was thinking of either aluminium or fibreglass matting for that part as the problem with the originals is that when they get damp the curve starts to lift.
