    Sills inner /outer , & bumper repair

    Best place to buy sills ?
    inner
    outer
    and rear bumper repair pannels ?

    there only tiny blemishes but would rather change the lot all at once

    I'm on with this now. Horrible job tbh. Your best bet is our fully endorsed mike at gt turbo spares:

    Budget for around £250 just for the parts. Mention you an rtoc member for discount.

    Re: Sills inner /outer , & bumper repair

    Did u need to brace the door spaces ?
    And is it spot welded all the way or stitch welded or fully seam welded?
    My sills only need patching but going to replace fully anyway,
    do it once do it properly !!

    I agree do it properly. I spot welded the inner sills but the outers are fully seem welded. Inners also seam welded to the floor underneath. No need to brace the car unless fully removing the inner sill

    Isn't it an MOT requirment for these type of things to be fully seem welded anyway?

    Its a grey area Alex. The car came from the factory spot welded, but certainly the MOT guys don't like to see spot welds. I will be fully seem welding where I can.
