Right, so my sills are in pretty sad state, and I will definitely have to replace the outer ones, but the inner sills should be repairable, providing the guy doing it is not an apprentice.
So I'd like to know 2 things:
1. Where's the best place to buy outer sills? I'm assuming BMW will probably cost a fortune, so if elsewhere, then where?
2. Do you know anyone within M25, who has done bodywork on your car and you were fully satisfied or perhaps anyone you would recommend who could do this kind of job to a high standard?
Any input/advice appreciated.
Thanks

Also more importantly, I'm still looking for a bodyshop to get the job done...

For the sake of a quick blast up the M1/ £100 Shiply delivery I definitely think it's worth the journey..

Thanks Andy, will give them a call. Barking is not too far.
Rh306, that looks very tidy, although Chesterfield is a bit of a distance from London
Anyway, will keep that in mind. Thanks
