Sill Protectors

[Mr Pig]

I'm looking to buy a set of sill protectors for my new Ibiza. So far the front runner is the stainless steel ones on eBay but I'm a little concerned about them. I assume they are from China and might be of questionable quality. I don't want rusty bits of metal stuck to my car! If I could find them, I'd rather have chromed plastic or something like that.

Anyone got experience with sill protectors they'd like to share?

I've got 2 sets of those, one says IBIZA and one says TOLEDO. Good fit, make sure the sills are perfectly clean before sticking them on. No corrosion or other marking in over 3 years.

Very cheap compared with factory items.

Used all 4 on the Toledo but the Ibiza rear ones are so small they're probably not worth fitting to be honest.

Thanks. That sounds ok. It's really the fronts I'm concerned about anyway.

Nope. All metal with double sided tape on side B.

I don't like those ones. I don't see the point of sill protectors that don'y go over the lip as that's the bit that takes the most hits.

The ones I had were plastic backed and stainless steel cover.

I bought from the exact ebay seller Pig linked to in post 1.
