Well the rear lower trim (+ clips) was about £70 a few years back when I had my respray. Think the front (plus clips) is about the same. Hope you find a decent spare to get one from - there are alot of ludes breaking on ebay, you should find them if you're not too fussed about condition?

mmm ive got a spare one here with the clips fitted but i was never sure about fitting it
reason being the one thats on the car has a chrome coating-but this has started to flake so i just painted with black hammerite - the spare i have doesnt seem to have any metal coating and is just black plastic and rubber do you think it will be ok to use?
here is a pic of it:

The rubber coating is what it's supposed to have. That's the outer layer and what usually perishes revealing the silver metal beneath, which obviously then corrodes unless treated.
If what you have there is an intact, non-perished, rubber-coated seal, then what you have there my friend Nick is rockying horse pooh

This picture from yours above is all I know the strip should look like of top...

Take a picture of the one fitted to your car. I'm intrigued.

mines rubber, supose its likely there are different types (styles) it is just a strip afterall. maybe chrome is aftermarket as the rubber eventually perishes (unless you coat it in silicone like me
)
