Unfortunately our politicians last for much longer than the cardboard they print their mugs on

Try looking for coroplast at shops that make advertisements, Groar found a batch of circus signs on the roadside. I found a plastics company which offered it - it's not called "coroplast", so I had to look through the pictures in the catalog. It's usually made from PP, PE or PVC, in different colors, sometimes you can find something that's UV resistant.

Before you start any welding, not only get the shapes and sizes right, but also find out what your local laws are. The US is much more relaxed about what you do to your car, while in Europe you must have all sorts of homologations and certificates for pretty much everything. It's supposedly safer that way, but for many it's just a royal PITA.
