Harrison's in QLD have them, reproduced in fibreglass. I have seen them and they look good (although no mounting holes are included) and guys who have purchased them have indicated that they were satisfied.
Harrisons are at

Isn't it funny how when the smallest amount of "plastic"
used on these classics, breaks down and is hard to replace.
New cars will just be a memory in 50 years.

Matt, I have used these parts from Harrisons and I was very happy, I had to dress the join in the fiberglass and then repainted them in a satin - matt type finish, you cant see the join and look a treat. The holes for the screws and chrome strip are indented on them, makes it too easy

Thanks guys for the info.
Sounds like Harrison's are the go.
Yeh Jodstar, I don't know who at GM thought that the plastic would be a good idea for the area that gets the crap kicked out of it!
Probably the same guy who thought it was a good idea to have the tailgate close over the top section on the Wagon.
Thanks again for the help.

Hi MikeM,
It sounds like you may have FB-EK seat surrounds as they are metal.

Thanx Ace,
This would make sense as the car did have a lot of EKisms when I bought it (EK bonnet emblem etc).
Cheers
