Dunno who, but most people make them themselves. What would you make it from?

I speak from experience. When your engine explodes with no firewall you'll be perfectly fine :)

Also I have learned today that your car dosen't catch on fire...according to Vauxhall it has a thermal incident.

Surely a thermal incedent would actually BE the car catching fire? lol Goddam political correctness.
