Damsel in distress needs side mouldings (protection strips)

[nickcathy]

Hi guys, I have just purchased an immaculate silver supercharged 's' vy, and to help keep it that way, I would like to put on some side mouldings (protection strips) on the doors and front guards (6 in total). Holden has said that they are next to impossible to get as they are having problems with their supplier, and are looking for a new supplier to help alleviate the 4 month backlog (so what are they putting on brand new cars where the purchaser demands this option). Does anyone know where I can get some aftermarket or used side mouldings suitable for the vt to vz range. As I would like them colour coded, they would have to be paintable (ie plastic). So far, my investigations have come to nothing, apart from some ugly black rubber strips that cannot be spray-painted.
Many thanks

Normally the threads are about having them taken off... Not having them put on...

Why don't you just go to any wreckers?

Tried, will only sell complete with door!
From the mumber of responses, looks like I've thrown in a curly one.

How about a self serve wreckers? Take them off yourself?
