Protection for the lower front door corners

RE Protection for the lower front door corners.

This is more summat to protect other folks cars when you are in a car park, parked close to another car.
When you open the door you are often in danger of the bottom corner catching some else's paint :shock:

Normal Halfords type door edge protectors don't work on our vans.

Anyone got any suggestions ?
(other than the daft ones I am expecting, like "leave a bigger space" - "go in and out through the side or back" - "just take off the doors" - err - "park it somewhere else" - etc :wink: )
Got a new van, but it's a 165bhp T4 [shock horror] Accurate LPG Station map here

How about the actual stick on rubber moulding that VW actually used? Just to the left of the '1664' sticker in this old photo.
