Need to replace driver's side sill cover strip (the one that rusts overtime), although both could be done to save hassle in years to come. Dealers want £40 per side + the end cap. Does anyone know where I can get one either new or in extremely good condition cheaper?

trade part specialists. They do parts for all the vag group cars. Dealer parts, but your not paying dealer prices. I know they do the VR6 splitter genuine, which vw don't even sell no more. Try your pot luck, most likely tps will do them

Good call, i signed up with them months ago and had a call from them about setting up an account but nothing ever came of it and was expecting a rep to come round to see me...
Getting someone else to deal with sounds like a much better idea. :rolleyes:
