Default Wheel arch paint protection

Where can i buy the thick pre cut clear vinyl strips that go on the wheel arches to protect the paint. I looked at paragon but they only seem to do full kits which include the bumper etc and I only need the wheel arch bits.

I could cut them myself but really dont want to have to messs around measuring?

thanks

they are easy to remove if you use heat. I used a hairdryer and they came off easily (a heat gun would have been better)

After using heat, I also had to use an adhesive remover.

When you put them on, use soapy water - that way you can slide them around to position and push all the air bubbles out.

Dan, p/ns are on illustration 810-05 of PET. Items 6, 7 & 8.
