Use the Search tool - this is a very well covered topic.
A few options really...colour code the one's you have, which would involve some refinishing and priming OR pop onto eBay and get some ready primed ones. Tend to be cheaper than the main dealer.
Also, maybe even check the classifieds on here as on occassion, there may be one or two pop up on there. As well as that of course, there's the scrapyard option. However, the strips are held on with clips which can break, so need to watch that if/when removing them from the car.
As said by Argo, there's a few threads covering the various options, so would be well worth a browse

I paid £150 to have mine colour coded, they also did my front bumper and rear bumper bump strips for that price.
i bought painted 1's from ebay for £30 getting them sprayed nx week by a mates mate for £20
Cheers people! im going to want the front and back done as well. Iv been looking on ebay and so far nothing has come up. Might take a trip to the nearest scrap yard, but if all else fails ill ask at a fiat dealer. Hopefully they wont be too pricey!
Dont really trust myself to colour code my own coz ill prob end up making a mess!

look at the cars bein broken that are on ebay, n dealers a rip off think its 49 for rear, 19 each for little behind door, 35 each for doors n 45 each on front, n then on top of tht is paintin....
Yeah, that'd be the best approach. Even if you can get second hand one's from somewhere and just prep them ie sand and prime, then that'll knock some of the cost off when you go to get them sprayed

why buy second hand ones? he's already got some on his car, just sand prim spray n laquer. job done
I see you're point, but I guess it couldn't hurt to have a cheap spare set laying around
Plus, he could always be lucky and find a set the same colour as his car
