Question 240 bumper trim moulding

Good day! I just purchased my first volvo. It is a beauty, and I am falling in love with it. However, it has none of the front and rear bumper trim molding (as seen in the picture). Upon purchasing the car, I assumed this would be easy to come by, but the cheapest aftermarket replacement starts at $50 a piece (I need 6 pieces apparently). Before I pull the trigger on an aftermarket set of bumper trim molding, I'd like to know if any of you have ever come up with a clever inexpensive alternative. I though of buying a garden hose, opening it up, and somehow attaching it on the car, but that's probably a bit extreme.

Thank you! 240s are scarce around this region. As my grandfather would say, it's where the devil lost his poncho. Maybe I'll go on a road trip hitting junkyards from other towns then

The motorcycle is a 2016 Suzuki TU250. It's competing with the 240 to see who will take me to work every day.

Last fall I got "first". Too . A 92 wagon, nothing fancy about it but I love driving it. I understand why they have a following. Until you drive one you'll never understand.

These aren't impossible to find, but nearly. If you find one, take it! I am looking for the rear end bumper molding for a 245 and its impossible.
