Found the info:

EXTRA FINE NIB PERMANENT WHITE PILOT PAINT PEN MARKER [ASIN: B00203ZHIU]

Bought from Quickdraw stationery UK via Amazon marketplace.

Or here for £2.92 delivered:

Take your time though and definitely practice on an old tyre first.....if you press too hard the ink will flow too fast and go places you don't want it to.

I also used this to do the CAT lettering on my XLS front bumper.

Like my SWB cars this also needs white marked text on the tires. Will be sorted out sooner or later.

Thank you sheriff! I painted the shell with a brush and without any masking at all so the window lines are not perfect.

I bought four bumpers by him and got three originals from different sources. Right now I actually can't remember which cars that got the originals :lol:
