Sill protector question

Postby OMY005 » Thu Feb 23, 2006 4:16 pm

Hello, I've picked up some sill protectors but I'm not sure which way they go on. Does the small tab that sticks out go toward the front or back?

Thanks. Andrew.

Where did you get them from? What brand are they?

I haven't seen that style before, they look pretty nice!! :lol:

Make sure you post some pic's of them once they're fitted.

thanks

OK, I have put them on as sugested with the decal towards the rear of the car. But I have a slight gap at the front, see pics.

Can anybody offer and suggestions? I see that mightyrollerman has some protectors as well. Do yours leave a gap as well.

Thanks, Andrew.

Thats how they fit. Pretty crap eh. I stuck some black tape on the body over the bit the sill plate misses and you hardly noticed it.

Exactly what I was thinking of doing. :) Dody for a factory part though to leave a gap like that. :?
