My outer sill (o/s) need some substantial work so am looking at getting a complete replacement unit to weld in. Have found them for around £30 on egay but wondered if anyone knew anywhere cheaper or had any recommendations for a place to get them?

Also any general tips or e30 specific tricks worth noting before doing this?

Thanks

They are pattern parts, not bad, not perfect also.

But they are cheap and with a little fabrication will look just fine.

I think they are all made by the same manufacturer anyway

Yes pattern parts. Not perfect, but no major issues with shape and fit on both sills and quick delivery. Had a dented bonnet arrive, delivery company poor. They had to change companies during transit to send to scotland. They were in the process of changing the delivery company. Got money back no questions asked, good customer services and communications. I'd use again.

Yer I agree and the best thing is you can call them, get the right stuff ordered by phone rather than a faceless website where you take your chance
