Default bumper inserts

Good morning I am looking to make some front bumper inserts as they are obsolete from fords, the ones that go in each corner of the front lower grill. I am going to blade them out of a sheet of black plastic as I dnt like the metal ones that are available from auto specialists. If any one has a pair that they want to sell to me then even better lol. Would anyone with a genuine pair of these be able to give me the dimesions or a drawing of them so i can then make a stencil. Even if you could just draw round them and then scan the drawing onto here or email in 1:1 scale. Any help is much appreciated

Cheers Robbi.

Even genuine Ford ones are just pieces of plastic cut out by hand they are propper rough if you take a close look at them

They can supply me a set in satin black powder coat but i am just worried about stones hitting them and chipping the powder coat off, were as stones would just bounce off the plastic? Any thoughts?
