Around here we have a metal scrapyard that always has bits of sheet aluminium in, they usually have decent amounts of treadplate in too. Maybe have a look in your phone book for scrapyards and stuff.
Also have a look at your local tip, dad came home the other day with a couple of sheets of copper that some Idiot had tried to dump. All it cost was a couple of quid for the dodgy guy that works there to look away while he climbed into the container to get them.
A friend of mine recently got a sheet of stainless steel from round the back of a food factory, all their machines are covered in the stuff and they usually leave pretty large panels lying around. He cut it out/screwed it to some wood, and it really does look cool on his dash. Dont get caught though.
