Stainless door sill protectors?

trikey · 20th January 2011, 14:00

I am thinking of approaching one or two press shops to see if they would be able to produce stainless door sill protectors. (As I am fed up with the plastic ones getting scuffed) Would anyone else be interested? As with all engineering work, the bigger the quantity, the better the price.

Me, I have been looking for something like this already, may be a brushed aluminium effect or something similar...

I'm in

Will ask for prices for different finishes

Subtle bump to see if any further interest before I visit the press shops later this week

I am interested, as always price dependant, and have completed the poll. I suspect that if the price is reasonable and when people see them you will get a lot of interest for these.

should be easy enough to bend with a press ie a big one its the fixings under neath that would be the problem to allow the clips to fit.the easy way would be have holes in them .to allow some nice stainless bolts but then you need bush inserts in the sill holes.which in turn need a special tool to put them in.as a say can be done

Thery are talking about the coloured and ribbed plastic trim covers that finish the top of the carpet and clip over the rubber door seal at the top of the sills on the inside of the car.
