I had a piece of scrap acrylic plastic which is known as Plexiglass or Perspex measuring about 1ft x 1.5ft x 4mm thick, thanx to a fren who picked it up for me... So my another fren also had a same piece... he wanted to use it to cover the hole under his HU... then something came into my mind... n this is the idea that i have made it to reality... 1st time playing with acrylic plastics!!
