I love this bit

Benefits: If your door sills are not protected, sooner or later your beautiful BMW will get scratched (by either your feet, your passengers feet, your childrens feet or your dogs feet!). So don't take the risk, fit Lockwood sill protectors. Once fitted, these kick plates will provide protection for a lifetime. And if your sills are already scratched, will make them look better than new.

Still might consider them (unless i find something better).

I will forgive them that slip if they are as good as they look.

Perhaps they are giving away a complimentary car with each set of sills?

Thanks, just ordered up a set. Had them on my 08 C70 as standard so was disappointed when they weren't on my XC60. Hope they're easy enough to fit

Default Look great, but short?

I think these sill protectors look hot, except in the pictures they seem a bit short. Does anyone who has these think the same thing? Could someone please post a picture of these installed that is not so zoomed into the door? I would like to see a picture of them showing part of the vehicle too. I would consider getting these, but they do seem about 4-6 cm too short. Thanks.
