Title: MK 3 Sills
Post by: James I on 09 March 2013, 20:14
I have removed the plastic sill trim off my MK 3 GTI, low and behold tin worms have eaten the nearside sill from the front wheel arch to the middle of the door.

 Does anybody know what I can expect to pay somebody for welding on a new sill?

Thanks

I have the sills, I know somebody who gets good discount on all parts, so only £16 per sill, I need to find somebody in the merseyside area who has a welder and can use it.

I asked for them today and I can collect on Thursday, I don't know if they are genuine parts or pattern. Either way the trim is staying off and the rest of the car is getting stripped out as it will only be used as a track weapon.

 MOT only for purposes of track use, MSV insist on one, so sills need doing.


 I have asked for a cambelt kit too, off the dealer with tensioner and belt £36.. but don't tell anybody as I can't get them to sell on.

You can get a pattern Timing Belt kit at Carparts4less 4 less.................  :whistle: than £25.
I paid about £35 less discount for a Contitech kit from ECP last year, so thats not all that cheap tbh. Think the sills retail at about £40 per side side though, so thats good.  :smiley:
