Sill Protectors - Yes or No?

[MK6-Fan]

Thanks for your help & responses everyone. 

Yes it's for a 3dr Golf 'Match' 1.4 TSI.

I'll make sure they don't show through the edge before sticking em down.

Pics will follow when the car is delivered.

I had the dealer fit the sill protectors as part of the deal when i purchased my Golf GTI,after three years they still look o.k,they do the job and to be honest you dont really notice them unless your looking

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.

I did exactly the same thing a good few weeks ago now and they came back with pretty much the same response...they said just to make the one set(5dr) I wud be looking at £170+vat but this was cus they wud have make them from scratch...

I did mention a group buy and the price for 10-15 sets were around the £75+vat mark...now I probably wudnt mind spending this amount on them but was a bit worried about how much they actually protect from peeps getting in and out ect....but from the sounds of it from peeps on here they do quite a good job...

I fitted these to mine http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/accessories/sport-and-styling/5K4071310/door-sill-trim-black-silver?mark=golf-2009&offset=90&previousCategory=all

My Passat had them as standard. I think they look a lot less bling on a GT than the stainless ones do and offer more protection.

Problem I find is my sills are a bit scuffed in places that the protectors wouldn't protect! Don't get me wrong I am really careful getting in and out but it does happen, albeit some of them are where the protectors go but some are not.. sooo...

They look good if a little expensive

I like them. They are similar to the lockwood GTI ones.
