Thx for all your replies I have sent Lockwood pics of the sill and should be in there next week to get measured up.

Will let you know how I get on!

Is anyone interested if I get them to make a pattern, have just fitted their product to my Fiesta and are very nice quality but I need to show them there is some interest/demand.

Price dont't know yet but Fiesta pair were £22 so should be well under Volvo prices!

BTW these fold around the sill step and protect the whole sill not just the top flat section!

Are you only talking about the front door sills? My problem is the rear door sills when the grandchildren try to clamber over the very high step to get into the back of the car - paintwork is scuffed already

I would be interested if it includes all 4 doors.

The same applies to me, front and back required

Good point - front and back too please if possible

Philpottig · Jun 5th, 2011, 22:06

Sure will get both measured up!

Philpottig · Jun 6th, 2011, 21:57

Off to see Lockwoods and get car measured up on Weds, will update later in the week

Would also be interested

I'm interested in both front and rear please.

I am also interested in back and front. OE sill plates are exhorbitant.

OK, had the car measured up today, no problems in getting these made.

I am going back to get the templates checked next Weds before they go into production, will give another uopdate after that.

We measured the profile front and rear, these sill scuff plates will be in stainless steel and will fit around the contours covering the sill from the rubber door seal down to the plastic sill section.

I will then go back and get a proper production version fitted and piccies taken.
It is likely the first production run will be 30 sets, will let you know as soon as they are avialable.

Mine is a SE Lux so it might be a good idea if someone can compare the R-Design sill and just make sure there is no difference in profile/gap!

Cheers,

Ian.
