    Default Where to buy cat's eye reflectors.

    I live in a battle axe block with a long, narrow dark driveway and I was thinking of putting some of those cat's eye reflectors along the edge of the driveway to make it easier to see when reversing up at night.
    The other night when reversing out I was distracted for a second and ended up scraping along my letter box, putting a 2 foot long by 1mm scratch along my rear quarter panel, it's not that noticeable but I was very angry at myself. Got 2 quotes, $900 and $1200, is there no such thing as a cheap repair anymore?
    Since I never got around to putting the cat's eyes in, I am now sorry and need to find some, but I have no idea where to get them. Any ideas will be appreciated.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Thanks for the link, I'll keep it in mind if I can't find something a little more local.

    Thanks for the link but they won't work on the driveway and there is nowhere to stick them vertically.
    There reason I want something more local is that I don't want to wait too long. I've been buying and selling on ebay since 2002 and I find that it's usually quite a long wait to get something from America, plus the postage is also a bit high.
    If I can't find something locally at a decent price I will probably get those from America.

    What about Mitre 10 or something? Or even try a sign writing place they may have some off waste reflective tape lying around.

    If you wouldn't mind asking your dad that would be great. Obviously I don't mind paying for them but they will need to be posted to me, if that's not a problem. I will also pay for postage. I need at least 6 but 10 would be better.
