Sill protectors are on the list as well, passenger has already scuffed part of the sill Was hoping for a cooler looking protector though....

If it was the wife i hope divorce in happening...lol.
I think they do 2 sorts , black which lips up and over most of the sill and i've seen a chrome one with scirocco on it, that looks like it's just for display and doesnt protect much. Not sure what to do.

maybe both is the way forward...I think RW1 has put 3M clear on his which would be good ;thumbup:

[Rocco71]

Yeah i've seen both VW options, the one that protects the most is a bit lack luster, the others pretty but does bog all to protect the sills.... Will have a tink about it, VW may bring another varient out at some point....

Nice one scotty, M3 clear hmmm!. i'll have to look into thoses, and maybe as you say could use the black and chrome together, would need to see 'em together before making a choice it does sound a bit yukk

Just spoke to my friend and have booked the rocc in for friday to have a recal on the gearbox , should have been done before i collected it . Peace of mind knowing he's on the ball and gonna oversee that the jobs done right . While i'm there we're gonna have a peek at the spares and availibility of the exausts, matts and what ever else is there .
In the mean time i found this web site showing how to install clear protective sill. Could be a good option as its nice to see the Beautifull and obviously the best colour, rising blue, along the sills when the doors are open.

Hmmm could combine the clear sill protector with the purdy scirocco sill plate.....

Just been out bid on E Bay for the VOLKSWAGEN VW SCIROCCO DOOR SILL DECAL GENUINE NEW. My top bid was £45 and was winning with 10sec to go, lost out £46. I was gutted as they retail £125.

A few hours ago i got an e mail saying "You've been given a second chance to buy VOLKSWAGEN VW SCIROCCO DOOR SILL DECAL GENUINE NEW, which you placed a bid on for 45.0 on 2010-03-11 08:12:04.0".
Also to say "Hi the winning bidder who was from Hong Kong clearly didnt understand English and wasted my time so if you still want the item then its yours".

I looked up the bidding list, if this guy hadn't bid i'd have won them at £39, so offered him £40.

He replied with....wait for it........ Hi I will accept £40. Please note this is only for one side and not the pair.

Thought it's a bit "IFFY" What do you recon?

[Rocco71]

Lol, you'll be lopsided

What door sills is £125? I have seen steel ones at £95 and vinal for less from VW but not ones that expensive.

I was with a friend today who works for VW and i brought or should say ordered the rubber scirocco matts and boot liner which are in the lastest Scirocco brocher along with the sill's, i have left the brocher at home so can't tell you the exact wording but i will later. They are £125(i think thats for 2),

Also, i've been in touch with a friend who runs a signing business and thinks he can sort out some clear sill covers as shown in the little video.http://www.xpel.com/diy_paint_protection/clear_doorsill_guards/
