Delux trim in oak

Or try Sainsbury's Homebase. I've bought a lot of sticky back faux wood from there in the past. An pound shops might be a good place to try too.

Cheers for all the replys people its appreciated

I think i may find a boat builder and have a word with them about making me some
I cant see it being cheap but i think it would look different from the norm and be practical aswell

Hmmm now i wonder if delux strips in the bumper made from wood not rubber would be a step too far?

Now try to not gasp in horror for a second, just bear with me.
You can buy rolls of simulated wood grain vinyl for restoring old station wagons and such that had it from the factory. It's quite affordable ($40 a roll if I remember) and easy to apply.
I suspect you would really want real wood or nothing, but for the price and ease of application it would at least give you a fairly clear picture of what you're going for.
If you apply it and love the look, peel it off and wood it. If you don't like the look, peel it off and forget it. You'll have done no drilling or otherwise irreversible damage in the process.

As a tester to see if you like the look, Thats not a bad idea, you can get upvc strips in foil covered wood effect that would at least give you an idea of what it would look like.

Hey, that's not bad. I wonder if you can bend it with the with slow and careful use of a heat gun.

I reckon it would bend without a heat gun its pretty flexi stuff. the only problem with it would be the cut ends.
