Step edge trim?



We had our step lengthened as was too short however the old trim is now not long enough and I am having trouble locating the same one as the old one is self adhesive pvc plastic and only like 1mm in thickness and 4cm in width and 100cm in length.
I've looked though wicks and b and q websites but can't find one the same so hoping for some help please with any links appreciated. I've also contacted all local flooring companies to no avail.
Just trying to get the same exact thing. Or as close as possible. Maybe the orgianal one was just a bit of upvc angle as not sure if its self adhesive that black stuff.
But something like this which is very flat ie 1mm so won't be a trip hazard.
If I end up with just a bit of upvc angle thats not self adhesive then whats the best type of glue to stick it down with. Dont want something thats going to add another layer as need it as flat as possible to not to make a trip hazard.
Thanks all

It's definitely not self-adhesive.
Use either solvent based grab adhesive or hybrid silicone adhesive.

Thanks very helpful indeed.
Problem I am having is finding a new trim about the same measurements. Any links again hugely appreciated as my efforts have found none.0 -
Try www.eurocell.co.uk
They have white rigid angle upvc - 40mm width - but, it comes in 5 metre length, so just a tad more than you need!
