Default rear bumper rubber moulding black

Hello,

After i made damage on my car the car is at the refinisher (according to google translate that is the word). Now the only missing thing is a rear bumper moulding in black. Ford can't supply it anymore.

Does anybody know a place where they sell it which looks a lot like the original one?

Ebay everything is fine.

its 15mm wide and 4mm thick

Thanks!

Continue to search the internet and you'll find a company that produce and sell the bumper insert in a gloss black close or matching OE spec, but its width is 2mm smaller.

Thought the price was well steep but hoped it would be real thing with RS tax added. The price asked for some of these bits now is daylight robbery

Too bad also this one isn't the right size.

I think i will let them reuse the one that came out. It only has very slight damage, but as insurance would pay they prefered to fit a new one.

Thanks for the help!
