Didn't someone recently discover that you could actually still, or recently still buy them, but you'd need to remortgage your house and sell your soul to the devil (twice) to buy just one of them?

Omg.. in my response earlier I originally put the cills would probably be 200 quid but then removed it because id be expecting someone to say dont talk or type stupid they are only 50 quid...

I was almost right then

Malcolm knows someone who supplies Picasso sills at reasonable prices, they may have other models too.

Same problem on the 406, they rot like mad and are no longer available, or if you can find a repair panel, it costs a fortune. A decent welding shop should be able to fabricate something that looks reasonable, this was done by a local guy, the whole outer sill was replaced and cost £110 all in as I recall. Best looking part of the car, haha.

Do the factors not do them? I haven't asked but this company I dealt with for years might be worth asking
