Door Sill Plate

Post by Clubby Clutch »

So I was giving my car a good spring cleaning last week and while wiping down my door jams and sills I noticed the metal plate that says "MINI Cooper" was nearly half removed as the adheasive had worn off.

Anyway, I peeled it all off so I could clean the old stuff out for good adheasion. Now, the metal plate is not straight and rather gently bent. Fortunately, I can get the part (unlike some other cars - BMW M3 CSL door sills are some of the hardest parts to find OEM) but should I have it rolled out or just grab a new one?

To put it in perspective, Baron quoted me $130 to do it. Haha yeah right....

I say, try eBay lol if you're gonna buy a new one. Otherwise, good adhesive tape or whatever and a lot of pressure.
