Default Sapph Cosworth front bumper strip

Does anyone know where to get a front bumper strip (the one at the top of the bumper) for a Sapph Cosworth? I tried Ford, but it's not available anymore...

Yes, that’s what I mean. I think they are actually on eBay, but something like 40 pounds for just a piece of trim is quite expensive.

I picked one of these up from a show last year for mine from these guys, granted i haven't fitted it nor looked at it since purchasing it!

I think they are the same ones I purchased from eBay but won’t be fitting them for at least month so can’t tell you what they are like when fitted, they are not as stiff as the originals as the copies are made of a more flexible rubber and the original ones have an aluminium strengthening strip through them and a harder shinier finish to them.

*I bought genuine original Ford ones, can't remember from where but they came in Ford packaging and labels for both of my Saff's bumpers.

Useful info on this thread, in addition to being NLA, I know it's said they are hard to get as black was unique to the Cosworth.

Bringing this back after some time, as I still need to get the bumper strip. But I also need some door mouldings. I noticed East Kent Trim Supplies also does these. Does anyone have any experience with those? They are not really cheap at 280 pounds...

I actually just remembered I have a full set of door mouldings in the attic, so you can disregard my last question. 😂

The door mouldings I have that really look that great. Can you paint these? They seem to be a bit soft, so I’m not sure if paint will hold.
