Where did you get your door sills from ?
If you do a search Kev I think he had genuine VW ones.

or Lockwood (http://www.lockwoodinternational.co.uk/golf-mk6-2009-on-c660.html) do them or eBay.

I asked Lockwood if they do them for the GTD. They said no we haven't had any call for them. They do GT, GTi and TDI why can't they use the GT and the D of the TDI to make them?  :wink:

I got mine from VW.
They are in the Accessories Catalogue.
£151.50 (I think) fitted. That's for a 5 door.
Yours will be cheaper as it's 3 door. :smiley:

Thanks Rick, but I've seen these before. They look good, but this company are simply uncapable of creating one for a 3 door GTI.

Strange, you'd think they would make sure they could do them for a 3 door, as there must be at least as many around as 5 door.

They look good, but are they black or silver? Also, it's a pity they stuck their Lockwood logo on them, as it is immediately obvious you have gone with cheapo, non-OEM stuff :sad:

I don't think they are bad mate, but personally I'd like them to say GTI. to be honest I'm surprised Lockwood managed to get the 'ok' to use GTI in the exact font VW use, I thought that was trademarked/patented etc or whatever its called.

Kev; Have you thought of contacting Gulfstream11?
He can make anything and everything to do with metal.
