I was just browsing the 100+ pages of members cars and I came across this photo. What really stuck out to me was the lack of door sill plastic on this car, giving it a clean apearance. Were door sills not standard on european models? Mine are black, crapy, and warped.

The door sills hide seams in the metal. I like this look of a clean no-sill cover myself. Really nice.
Weld them up, grind them flat and paint! All 914's had sills. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

I'm not sure...
I thought about deleting mine while I had the tub down to metal, I think if you are re-doing the whole car, it's an option. I don't think that it was ever a FACTORY option though... |

Don't forget that there were some years that the sills were made from aluminum... There is a vendor in resources that sells repos that are VERY nice -
No afilliation...Ya da ya da Thom |

Usually just under them isn't ever really bad if they have any rust at all. Taking them off usually shows the original color of the car, or just shinny paint. I was thinking of leaving mine off. The cars sit so low, I don't see how people can scrape up the sill area. Look at 944's, they don't have sills in that area. I think VW/Porsche put sills there because it was cheaper than finishing two more seams on the car. Think about this: How many finished seams does a 914 have? Anyone? Beuller?
