hey lads - just been havin a look around the car today and its just one of those things i wanna tidy up. you've gotta admit, a ridged bit of plastic looks pretty stupid.
talking about the plastic strips under the door that hold the carpet down.
anyone changed these somehow? very interested to see something done to these. I'm looking into changing to vn, vp or vs sills at the moment pending what comes up in this thead.
however would love to see something with more of a stainless steel finish.
anyone?
I talked to my dad about it.. Getting some sheet metal folded into that kind of shape or similar. He's worked with metal for a good handful of years and he claims it can't be folded in such a way that it goes.. _/\_ and I really don't believe it. But I guess I'll find out.
If anyones seen the HSV ones - thats kinda like what I am after, without the hsv of course. Maybe - calaisturbo.com.au or something *hint hint*

Mate, I can go over them with a toothbrush and amourall - And its just the whole tacky plastic looking stuff that doesn't impress me. After something classier.

Yeah, my Jag has stainless door sill covers and I'd love to have the same on my 'dore. Looks KEWL!!! (And also the plastic covers crack too easily).

well the VL interior isnt the most classiest interior ever made, i think if you just changed ur door sills u may aswell change the whole lot
A mate of mine had some made out of polished stainless steel and engraved with "VK BROCK GROUP 3" .An old bloke here on the coast made them up for $120 plus engraving. I don't see him anymore but I have another mate that works for a sheetmetal place ,I'll ask him if he can make up a batch. Alloy or Stainless?
yer these are abit of a mind bender i actually tried to make sum outa checker plate but didnt go aswell!!! but i have come up with a solution that works well and will bend easy!! get ur hands on a street sign and cut it up the reverse side of a sign looks pretty cool wen its brushed with a bit of steel wool and it DOESNT RUST!!!
just buy yourself an engraver and do whatever you want on it. I'd prefer plain, or maybe with some lines going across it, just a metal version of the current sills, except with a bit more square shape to it.
But if it looks alright I'll definately consider it
Well I saw the guy today by chance at work! He's gonna measure my car up and make mine first He said alloy or stainless and I told him either or. I will take photos of mine and put them up for you guys to decide. He also said they will be a good price but couldn't give me a figure yet.
P.S I will not be making any money out of this. I'm just doing it 'cause I know how badly needed this product is.
So chill peoples and I will keep you all posted.
