I'd try the yellow pages, you might find a local plaggy stockholder who has offcuts for sale. Certainly go to a proper suppliers rather than B'nQ - You'll want your work to last so getting pucka gear from someone who knows the difference will help. Might also be worth considering window film as a means of beating the scratches.

Another consideration if making your own is the rear window, this is a curved window and trying to fit a flat sheet of plastic is a nightmare and never looks right, if you buy from Plastics 4 Performance then the rear window is heat formed to the original shape and a doddle to fit. HTH. You also get the sliders in the drivers/passengers door and everything will fit first time.
