The actual metal sill? There all the same on the mk3, only difference is between 2 and 4 door. You can buy patten parts of ebay for about £25. Not an easy job to tackle yourself and any garage will charge quite a bit of labour to do it.

Check the integrity of the paint though! If its cracked where the dents are it will soon rust!

You could get the sections cut out and replaced which would be cheaper than replacing the complete sill.
