Need to replace driver's side sill cover strip (the one that rusts overtime), although both could be done to save hassle in years to come. Dealers want £40 per side + the end cap. Does anyone know where I can get one either new or in extremely good condition cheaper?

Tps?
trade part specialists. They do parts for all the vag group cars. Dealer parts, but your not paying dealer prices. I know they do the VR6 splitter genuine, which vw don't even sell no more. Try your pot luck, most likely tps will do them

Good call, i signed up with them months ago and had a call from them about setting up an account but nothing ever came of it and was expecting a rep to come round to see me...
Getting someone else to deal with sounds like a much better idea. :rolleyes:
-
They are about £25 a side from vw last time I bought some....
-
Well my local dealer wants £40 per side...I guess they're becoming obsolete.
-
I will pop round my TPS at lunch and see how much they are charging. I could do with one of each side too along with the end caps.
-
Replaced one on my old golf for about £30-33 i think inc vat, mine and madmanmarts dealer must be slightly less of a scam artist than yours, but thats like saying hitler was a nicer bloke than Bin Laden!

and there not much better on my (trade) tps acct... try £27.20 and £3.83 + vat
I got my last one from ecp for £26.42 + vat (may be worth trying them with the part no)

So either £38 inclusive of VAT from TPS or £40 from dealers, inclusive of VAT...Rather use dealers, less hassle. Cheers guys!

cheese shady, defo getting one.

TPS sell them £30 a side exc VAT I think. got some 2 weeks ago

I found them extremely hard to source last year, the problem is not the plastic it's the fact it has a metal strip in so it's a pain in the ass to copy as its expensive, therefore not many people do. Ended up going to the dealer, luckily had two strips in stock and wanted to get rid so got them £40 all in, was quoted over £45 each side though!
-
try the scrappy, ive seen plenty on mk3s which are in good nick, no rusting metalstrips etc
-
Trims you need to get new.
-
Otherwise if the rust isn't too bad, just get rid of it by soaking in it baking soda mixed with water (use only a little water). Brush rust off with a metal brush. Afterwards lubricate it with some light lubricating oil with anti-rust preferably. It won't rust again then.
