Illuminated Sill protectors

[steveglt]

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself and say what a great forum this is, found some really useful stuff on here.

Also I have a Mk4 Golf GTi and wanted to enhance it a bit (not too much, don't want bling) and saw these on eBay:

Has anybody bought these before and are they good? Any thoughts much appreciated?

Cheers
Steve

They'd go nicely with a set of neons

A set of brushed aluminum ones would look much nicer.

Hi Dom

Thanks for the quick reply, it's a good point and was thinking about Brushed Ali, but they are expensive. Only other ones I saw where from Oz for £60-70 ali, but the GTi in the middle was not very good. I'll try and dig out the link for those.

Thanks
