I'm not sure what bronzed glass is...depending how dark it is you probably don't need plexi.

Alternatively to smoked glass you could always get tinted glass.  I believe you can get this in a grey tint rather than the browny-smoked colour.

Hi, I know this stuff - I got it from Homebase too. Yeah, it's polystyrene.

I can tell you that it's cuttable with the "stanley knife score + snap" technique and it's drillable. It's also quite tough - I used it to cover the arrow squares on my DDR stage.

It does scratch quite easily. My arrow squares have now become almost opaque from scratching - but then I do perform ten catas on it a day!

Probably not ideal for a cocktail cab top. Although I have some left and was myself planning to use it as a temporary "interim" top on my cocktail.

Clear polystyrene is what CD cases are made of. Very brittle and scratches very, very easily.
