E85/86 Individual Door Sills

[Barty]

Looking for a set of individual door sills to complete my interior. With all the work done I think it’s deserving of a set of matching kick plates

 

[Usel]

Wow, available new but not cheap!

Part numbers are 51477896631 & 51477896632

£500 :thumbsdown:

 

[Barty]

Yep, it’s why I figured I’d give this a go first

A bit cheaper from LLL parts, but not much. Also available from OEM_GENUINE_PARTS on eBay.

The first set I have seen second hand since you started this thread but unfortunately one has damage.

I would only collect in person with cash when using facebook so posting this as I know you love a road trip

For that sort of money, I’ll get them new

This set was originally listed on eBay, can't recall the exact price but believe it was in the 350 EUR range. Pics were "borrowed" from the ad and has since then been used in various scam schemes. When I investigated the possibility to close a deal seller was asking 150 EUR and suggested payment routed via PayPal (good news) through a super sketchy web page (no thanks!). Seller claimed he was in Ukraine.

In summary, memorize the dent(s) on this set and be very careful whenever they pop up :!:

Bumpy!

Here's hoping someone's got a set

Do these illuminate?

Do these illuminate?

yes

 

[ryushe]

Do these illuminate?

Contrary to GenZed's answer, I'd say no. The sills on my previous individual were solid aluminium (?) strips, and most certainly did not and could not light up.

Which is also the case for my individual X5M which also do not light up

thanks for the correction
this is on my 2.5 2005 Aero and doesn't say individual but it does light up
