Now that would be useful to have a pair of sills just incase.

I wonder would it be possible to go over to france or italy, cut the sills out of a car there and bring them home (obviously combine it into a holiday, its a bit pointless going all that distance for sills), do cars really rust less in the milder climate than they do here?

Just bought some brand new sill strips from Peugeot - they work out cheaper than second hand and come with the clips already fitted. Mine were £40 for both but I got a good discount so maybe saved a tenner?

Well, I can't believe how much noise the sill strips actually kept out of the car, it makes quite a difference 8)

Unfortunate really as I can now hear my grumbling rear bearing and rattling drop links..... :roll:
