Default 993 RS front PU trims - help!!

I'm having the front PU blown over to get rid of stone chips and I've noticed that the rubber trims underneath are pretty much knackered from speed humps

Porsche are quoting over £500 plus VAT ($1,000 plus tax) which is a bit strong - does anyone know where they can be sourced for a more reasonable sum?

TIA

There are 3 plastic strips(L C R) under the factory RS splitters. I removed the C on mine to intall a FPB.

hard to believe £500 plus VAT though
993.505.525.01 /L
993.505.523.01 /C
993.505.526.01 /R

I've read the original post like 3x and have absolutely no idea what the question is.

The question[I think]:

Where can I buy the little black bumper strips on the *bottom* of the RS front bumper cover cheaper than 500 GBP.
