Aftermarket sills (that's all you're likely to get) for a 5 dr, are essentially 4 panels. 2 panels each side, consisting of a front section that runs up to half-way below the rear door, and a rear section which also includes the arch.

Depending on the extent of corrosion, some people opt for 3 dr outer sills as the area they wish to replace on the 4/5dr is sufficiently covered by the 3dr panel and saves purchasing 2 extra panels.

It would be first worth checking out Klokkerholm's list here: http://www.klokkerholm.com/xProductCata ... oup=727309 , followed by PM'ing "mac" to facilitate getting them (if you don't have a local Klokkerholm supplier)

Thanks for that!
I require two new rear arches anyway and both outer sills have holes/crusty bits the full length of them

Are these any good?

I'll take a picture of the sill later and show you.

Those ones in the link might be the same. I haven't looked too closely. Still worth getting in touch with Mac as it may/may not be cheaper. :wink:

The other things I noticed was:

a) part not in stock
b) 19% VAT, which to me instantly says Germany.

This whole website despite have a .co.uk address and a 020 number is to with E & S Pkwteile GmbH which is a German company. Nothing wrong with that, just something to bear in mind. Also I thought that if a EU company sells more than a certain amount* of goods to another member state, it should be charging and VAT registered in that country?? (*for the UK, if they sell more than £70k of stuff here, they should be charging 20% VAT and giving it HMRC).
