Damage under sills, help required.

[lellowyedbetter]

Hey folks...
Picked up a 2006 Seat Leon 1.9TDi with a bit of bodywork damage here and there. Obviously not in the best condition but fairly priced

Anyway, there's this vinyl guard of some description peeling under the sills and I was wondering if anyone knew what it is or where I could get something similar to replace it.

Cheers!

That's not a vinyl guard. It's stone chip paint which has a rubbery texture. That will need to be cleaned up, have rust treatment applied and then resprayed. If you just stick vinyl or wrap over that in it's current state, it will just trap moisture and accelerate the corrosion that has already started.

That's bad, I have never seen a newer mk2 leon look like that mine an 07 and it's still fine

Thats shocking! You need to get that sorted ASAP as it will spread like a cancer. You can already see in the pic where it's started to eat into the door too.
