I can't see Adi (Carbonadi) listing on Ebay atm, but you could email him for your request. Plenty on here have bought from him in the past.

How thick, though?

I'f you want a cosmetic stick-on only, fair enough.
But if you need crash protection as well, they will need to be 5mm+ thick.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

as I managed to test my clutch cover protector out on the track day last yr, I want to look at options to add a bit more material to the bottom edge that is now slightly worn away.

any suggested methods to add material to get back the thickness and keep strength and not look like it has a bodged patch on it?

what material?
what methods?
best way to get a smooth gloss finish?
