Hey there I don't suppose anyone has the windscreen surrounding trim for an estate car for sale? I seem to have half on it in the boot of the car when I bought it but that's all I got
Alternatively has anyone retro fitted a universal one before that worked okay?

It was once advised that one for a Ford Transit fitted and looked ok. I can only think that was for the top rail only.
Perhaps you could fit side covers from the saloon and then deal with the top rail separately. Be aware the saloon side covers tab into the saloon top rail moulding, but I would think that wasn't insurmountable.

They're not very expensive so I might give that a punt to see how it looks

It is the top section that is different, wider to match the raised roof line of the estate.
On estates the top strip is around 35mm wide while on cars the strip is approx 15mm wide.
Side strips will fit either.
The transit section was fitted to one of my cars when a secondhand screen was fitted.
The fitter carried a roll in his van.
He had other width rolls so you may well find wider ones are available.
As Dieselman says the joint at the top corners needs work to make it look tidy if using a standard section.
If you do find the other hand matching estate piece then you will need a small cover piece for the centre joint.

Don't suppose you have a picture of how it matched up to the side ones?
