Don't think they are mate. There was a set on eBay a while back genuine ford cosworth ones in there bags and they sold for over Ł600 I thought it was outrageous and went to ford just to see what they were originally but couldn't help as no longer available.

Don't get me wrong mate ones other than Cosworth may well be available but cosworth ones aren't. Since yours have an insert and aren't Cossy ones you could try ford you might be lucky.

the red stip ones are on ebay for around 12 quid mate. they are very similar to cossie ones too and you can hardly tell the difference if you changes the strip to black

Can you not get a red strip for the bumpers.I think the red strip looks well against the black paint.

Repro wing mouldings have been done.

I bought the set in this pic and the right hand moulding is a repo.



No idea who makes them though.

I sold the one in the pic on Ebay for around Ł20 as I managed to source a genuine one for Ł80 !

If they're still available at Ł32each from ford and sell for Ł600 a set on eBay, that's a nice profit margin!!

Anybody want to buy a set of set for Ł500???

I went to ford 2-3 year ago as I needed one for a 4x4 Cossy front door I had and was told they weren't available hence why I looked on eBay. I ended up getting one from a breaker.
