The mounting clips for the sill trim arrived from Rimmers yesterday so I installed the paint stripped and polished sill trims.
It turns out that the new clips don't come with the little black locking pins so don't throw the old ones out. The new clips also have a slightly smaller recess for the pins so I found I had to shorten the pins by a mm or two and trim all 4 sides of the head a smidge to make them fit. Not a big issue but I did e-mail Rimmers to suggest that they include new pins with the clips. If a buyer is paying 2 quid per clip they should get the whole thing.
Also changed the oil on the V6 and installed my poly-bushed lower engine mount that was on the wrecked car, so now I'm off for a test drive.
