Sill trim available from main dealers about £25. Best to buy new and not second hand.

FYI they just clip on, you have to remove the end caps (one screw at each end in side the wheel arch). Start at the back & just pull away from the car. :afro:

I know eurocarparts sell them but due to them being fragile (and long) they wont courier them!! I think you'll find that all over

Yer you have to go to either VW or ECP, they are fragile and you will be lucky to find one online.
