Sill Protectors - Yes or No?

[MK6-Fan]

Well............

As it's around 3 weeks until I get my new car, so I ordered these sill protectors for it which I think look very smart & will suit it.

I bought them to obviously protect the sills but mostly because I like the look of them which will provide a 'sporty' look. 

I'm not sure if you could call it a 'modification' as such in the typical sense, but car modifications aren't my cup of tea, but this one is subtle & tasteful IMO.

What do we reckon chaps?

Those don't look to bad mate, I've been looking for sum GTD ones but nout does any with that logo on...

[MK6-Fan]

Thanks mate! 

Yeah I haven't seen any GTD ones either.......could you not get them custom made with 'GTD' on it?

Edit:

Does anyone know how to fit these?  :embarassed:  :embarassed:  :embarassed:

They do the trick mate, I've just put some on the cab. It's a nice touch when you open up the door.

That's good to know pal. 

Do they ever prevent the door from shutting properly?

You don't say if you have a 2door or 4door but you're showing 2 strips so it must be 2 door.

Lockwood do GTI ones for the 4door but not the 2door.

I contacted them a couple of years ago asking if they could make some for GTD, they do GTI and TDI so just shuffle the letters around. They said they have had no demand for GTD sill protectors.

I think they are fitted with double sided tape.

Peel the tape off and stick them down, simple. Just make sure you space them out the same on each side but that's just my OCD. And no they never prevent the door from closing.

I've not see good quality GTD ones.... Shame....

[Raffe]

Would like some too but not sure on those Lockwood ones, always associate Lockwood with cheap tat which is probably very unfair.

Bare paint always seems to get scuffed there, so I reckon they're a good idea 

TIP : Before sticking down, make sure they don't show from the outside (with the door shut).  I once fitted some and you could see the edge sticking out a bit (between the bottom of the door and lower sill - looked a bit naff IMHO)
