Can't really see the picture mate but my screen is turned down as I have a headache.
Anyway, ther are pros and cons to both materials. The right plastic will be cheap to make, easier for you to handle and will resist knocks and chips perhaps better than GRP, which is by comparison more expensive to make, heavier and more rigid but takes paint better in most cases and can be repaired easily with no loss of strength. It does suffer delamination damage though from seemingly small knocks.
I'd guess from your point of view a nice black ABS would be good, flexible, cheap, shiney but utterly impossible to repair satisfactorily, which means buying another :)

We are soon going to make some really indestructible flexible ones out of High Density Polyethylene.The properties for this are better than the abs option.Along with new designs.
Range Rover Blues:
HDPE, know it well. You won't get paint to stick to that too well :wink:
Got to say though it's a bit daft painting plastic anyway as paint is often less flexible than the plastic and comes off again, in patches.
