You could order them from the dealers, or you could make your own with a sheet of heli-tape.

Agreed, if you've got rust appearing on a door, it's highly likely to have been repaired previously. Mine is 16 years old and apart from a couple of stone chips that need attention - there's no sign anywhere else on the body work of rust (underneath does look a bit shabby now though - but I'm not overly worried :-) )
