David, as far as I know, the paint is not available. There were different colours for the engine too not just green but for some reason we don't have the paint codes. 
I have not seen the early front wing piping sold by any of the main specialists but it's got to be worth a phone call or two. Mike Perry (series MM registrar) might be able to answer the piping question better. His contact details are in the club magazine 'Minor Matters'.

You don't say what colour your car is.
Piping was only fitted to the rear wings on later cars. I didn't know it was a different thickness, but I would not have thought that anyone would notice when it was fitted.
Don't know about the engine paint. Mine is a sort of battleship grey, but maybe that is for later cars. Try Martin O'Dowd, address is under club officers.
