The black plastic rubbing strips on the side of my old Rover have - or
rather had - chrome strips down them. It was some form of chrome on
plastic and has failed. I thought I'd try carefully trimmed chrome tape
but nobody appears to sell it anymore. Nothing on Ebay and have tried car
accessory shops and Halfords, etc. Anyone any ideas?

Try a scooter shop(Vespa)? these have all manner of strips for the edge of
the panels on the bike.
Other than that a scrapyard.

That looks useful (flexible chrome trim in half moon shape) - although
I'll have to wait till tomorrow to measure up.

Thank you, Sir.
