    You can get plexi from most shops on the net.

    Theres a place in Newcastle (IIRC) that sells the UV stuff.

    I'll find the link later.

    At the moment I've (literally) just realised there's a place down here that does proffessional water cuts on steel.

    I met one of the girls in the pub and am gonna try and ring her tomoro.

    You'll have to buy a piece of plexi then find an engraver to do it.

    Try a place that does medals or cups.

    Kools pcs etchign serivce comes recommended.

    But why nto try etching youself? buy a dremel with etchign tools will cost you aroudn £20, and you away, its really easy when you get going, not much harder than drawing with a pencil

    go to your local signmaker and ask for some etch vinyl and stick it on, the if you mess it up or get fed up with it you can take it off again!

    I can heartily recommend them too. I used them for my full window etch on my Super LANboy. Covered the entire window for about £30.
