The steel stockholders at the back of sol d'ebre have them in all sorts of sizes. IIRC I paid about €40 / sheet for 6m x 1.1m.

Thats a really good price Ian ,I brought down 6X 3.4M  sheets @ £25 a sheet from a stockist in  Bury, I didn't know this stockist existed in Tortosa. Leroy Merlins wanted over 40 euros for 2.4 m sheets up in Tarragona.

Nobrot, thanks for that, presume they also sell the self tapping screws/washers aswell or else I'll get them from a ferreteria.Hopefully this job will go okay and sort my leaky roof problem. :)

Update...

5m x 1.1m sheet   €38.10 + iva.

Dont know why but it is invoiced by the kilo not by the size !!

They supply some really sexy self tappers already fiited with washers.A good rechargable drill or electric drill with clutch will have them in in seconds

€10 for 200

Nice guys but no English.

Just to add.....there is a way to fit them properly and it's very subtle, so subtle in fact that even I missed it. Doesn't effect the roof just the appearance if you're really,really fussy.
Look at the leading edges carefully and you'll see.

Is it the "small lip" - "big lip" thing (and no guffaws from the cheap seats), someone told me to make sure and lay the big lip over the small one. :D

Yes,it's the small ridge on one side that runs the complete lenght.If it's not laid down  the right way the next matching edge will stand slightly proud.Not detremental but by the time the you realise it it's too late.
