http://www.pixartprinting.co.uk/wide-format/printing-self-adhesive-pvc/flat-surface-adhesive/
The minimum order (charged for) is 1 square metre, which is quoted at £45.76. My control panels will only take up 916x345mm, which leaves 1000x650 ish.
Would anyone be interested in getting one done at the same time and share the costs?
Let me know!

That's expensive I can get it done for £20. 3ftx3ft you can get a buch of sets done with that.

It is expensive...would £20 include the heavy duty lamination? I think that is a lot of the expense.

Is the background transparent, so the cut to size doesn't matter as much?
Which material did you select?

My side art covers the entire side of the machine, so it will be a case of cutting round the edge with a knife and then putting on the t-moulding. The only down side to Printed.com is the vinyl isn't supplied with the protective transfer sheet, this means you have to squeegee on to the printed surface, which I'm not 100% happy with, as it may scratch. Otherwise the Printed.com artwork is excellent print quality, the backlit marquee was especially nice.

Maybe use a towel instead of squeegee to be safe not to damage the print.
I decided to order a test print from pixart, without the lamination (which is pretty much all of the cost). My test image is 552x383mm and cost < £6 including postage. I uploaded the image at 300dpi...not sure what it will get printed at but I will judge if it is good enough when it arrives...

Very interested in seeing pics when they arrive.
Thanks
