I wish I could give you an exact but I live in Sydney. Why not look at some of the custom car mags and see who advertises in there for QLD?
Maybe someone else will come up with better info for you?

Could it be those chrome plastic strips that car yards place on cars to tart them up? If so they are stuck on and can be carefully removed and any residue cleaned off with eucalyptus oil or similar.

I wouldn't bother.
You may find that the paint may not be as faded as the rest of the car, an'd it'll look even worse, or there might be some 5hit glue under there, or you may chip the paint when taking them off... they really aren't that bad are they?
