Sill Protectors - Yes or No?

[dubber36]

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.

They look good if a little expensive 

That price includes fitting. The four door kit was just over £60 from TPS and took me around 30 mins to fit. That included the time taken explaining to my Mrs why I HAD to take her new hair dryer outside.

The thing is on Lockwood is they do 4 Door Upper and lower Sill Protectors Kit for the GTI as well. Obviously there are two areas that can get scratched. This link shows a better picture.

As I said I don't know why they have to setup just to do one off's for GTD when they do GTI a TDI, I don't know if the letters are etched on or stuck on.

I have a set of these that I'm waiting to fit - if the rain eventually stops and we get some decent weather so I can get the job done! I preferred these to the stainless steel versions as they protect both the upper and lower parts of the door sill whereas most of the stainless steel ones only protect the lower sill.

They have a cash sales counter. You can order over the phone and call in to collect yourself.

Not necessarily, some will refuse to deal with public. A lot will do it to hit their targets tho
