I think the ones on these Italian Job replicas were hand fabricated, not sure you can actually buy them...

Right for the cibie lamp guards/grills then go to: http://www.jasonlepl...rtsforsale.html
I gave them an email and they are the genuine metal grills with genuine rubber strap and are sold in pairs for £300 a pair. These type guards were found on the classic works ford escorts and cortinas and used on their lower lamps. The grill type guards as you want are very rare and are even rarer than the other cibie oscar full metal guards with a cut out with mesh at the top also with rubber straps.
Finally for the lamp bar go to: www.theitalianjobminicoopers.com
These are the most accurate lamp bar made from looking at the film and talking to the stunt man Remy Julienne who helped get the dimensions etc spot on. These can be purchased from that site and cost around £134 i think.

Hope this helps, Evan.

I would imagine that you would first need the genuine article so that you can make replica ones. The italianjobminicoopers as i mensioned earlier had to make replicas of the original cibie oscar lamp guards as they are £300 a pair because of the rarity of these items.
Did you take a look at the site for the lamp bars, they also sell the AA GB badge for the boot and a replica roll cage for the classic italian job look.
