OK, me and my mate are getting our uni's "pimped😎 ." He's getting white and im getting purple.
What we can't seem to find is: A pair of grippy purple pedals A fusion freeride seatcover A white handle and bumper.
If you could help with finding these last few things we need, we will be very much gratefull.
Thanks in advance
Stu and matt.

For the handle, I've never seen a white one before. My suggestion would be to do a black handle and maybe a black seat post clamp and pedals to get a cool black and white design. If not then painting an old handle is probably your only choice. If you really don't want to paint it, then stratigically wraping white tape to make it look nice may work also.
Also, anyone no if the Qu-Ax seatclamp is aluminium. The clamp that comes with the 19" trials

they are the same thing as the fusion freeride and street covers, just don't say "freeride"
kinport handles come (came?) in white. A few people at cmw had them. I don't know if you can get them anymore though.
Ryan Atkins was using purple Jimmy C's that someone gave him. They were special edition so I don't know if you can still get them.

If you don't have much luck, you might want to give electrical tape a try. alpine_uni mentioned this. It is fairly cheap and easy to remove (I think) and replace. Pedals might be tricky, especially and cant remove the pins.
The problem with painting the plastic bumpers is that most paints won't bond to the plastic, so it just chips off quick. You might have some luck with Krylon Fusion paint, it's designed to bond to plastic, and while I haven't used it myself, I got a LOT of good feedback about it when I worked in the hardware store. It comes in the basic colours and should be available at just about any place that sells spraypaint.
I saw purple pedals at my LBS yesterday... white ones too... I'm pretty sure they were primo tenderizers.
