Hey old school.

keep up the good work mate!

thanks, yeah mr sinbin it'd be great to meet another vanner in person. cheers

does anybody know if they still make the stick on old mirror tiles, if so where are they sold. everybody here doesn't know what im talking about or they send me to the local tile shop which doesn't have them either.

what size were you after?thanx wizard

i think they were 1'', alot of the vans from the 70's and 80's had them in the back. thanks.

we saw some that size at a shop called hot dollar at maitland it is one of those asian cheap shops hope this helps thanx wizard

I have been looking for them for years, no one in Melb seems to make them anymore

thanks, there is one of them kind of shops in armidale. i'll have to go in and have a good look one day.

I got in contact with a friend who thinks he can get some but they only come in sheet size, probably about 8ft by 4 ft, will try chasing it up

it'd be great to get some. let me know how you go. thanks
