Anyone know anywhere online that sells replacement sills for a three door 19?
Cheers! |

OK cheers! I took both skirts off today because i could see one side was gone on the seem. the nearside funnily enough was perfect still while the offside was shot! Seems strange, usually its the nearside that goes first.
Just been cleaning it all up ready for welding. the inner sill's fine. I'll up the pictures later. |

It's strange that because the other sill is white but that one was black. i was thinking it was strange, everywhere else is white.  |

Theres no sign of colour change anywhere, the marks you can see that look like chalk are off my keys when i was tapping about. The black on that sill doesnt look like the paint, its more like a matt finish. Very strange! |
