Please find them and let us all know, many people including myself have been hunting for ages for an aftermarket exact match :huh:

I gave up looking a few weeks back and bought a set from Mitsubishi, the price wasn't too bad. About AUD$29 each, ordered via Amayama Japan and they are colour coded to my paint.

AUD$29 for each seal? as in AUD$179 for all 6 of the rubber seals? or are you talking the arch extensions?

You will only need 4 as they come in a standard length unless they have some very old stock. Cut off the excess for the 2 small pieces. They were about £18 each in the UK when I checked

Yes, that is the rubber seals price only. You only need 4 of them and cut to length as Peter says. Part numbers are in ASA and depend on your car's colour.

Today I received shipment. Of course not perfect (not self-adhesive tape), but cheap (~ 5 GBP per piece).

Good find! Seems to be about AUD$7 from Amayama (http://www.amayama.com/search/?q=6178442011c0&cur=AUD). I had expected other car manufacturers to be equally expensive for genuine parts as there are quite a few different vehicles that use similar strips, but that price is surprisingly good.

The profile is a bit different to the Mitsubishi item too, but looks like it will do the job once some tape is added to hold it in place. What's the total length that you get in one pack?

Length on the pack: 1.55m

whether perhaps someone knows the OE numbers of the rear arches from FL legnum. in our Mitsubishi service center can not find this number, because my car did not have that part. Mudguards now have begun to rot, so it would be the easiest solution.
