Golf+sezza Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Helllloooo....My passenger side door sill is rusting underneath, there's also a few bubbles of rust visible on the outside (basically from previous accident damage repair before I owned the car).Welding new metal in is the only solution, however, before this I wanted to find out if anyone here knows of any companies selling pattern part sills as this may be a quicker solution?Also, are the GTI door sills the same as a standard Lupo - I'm only thinking of the bodykit...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 How's unemployment ?IF you're bored and want some Lupo/non Lupo based banter, feel free to start up a conversation.On topic though, the sills are special and if you can't buy the panel from VAG you're going to go custom, there just isn't enouhg of these to justify people making panels.

James827 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 aren't they Luminums? or is that just the bolt on panels? get some dirty 2mm sheet metal and cut out crude squares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffD Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 like rich said they are specific to the gti and nobody, not even vw make them. strange but true. I wanted to put gti sills on my non gti and was going to have to buy a gti shell and cut it up. not worth it. get hold of a reasonable body man to repair your sills, properly or , find a gti in a scrappy(pretty rare) and cut out the sill and take it from there. geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf+sezza Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks for the help guys - pretty much what I thought. Welding it is then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
