Inspired somewhat by Mav71's FL2 in his Autobiography thread, I thought it was about time I added all my Chrome/Stainless Steel bits...namely door sill plates and rear latch plate. I am particularly pleased with the front door sill strips, as I think that they finish the car off quite nicely. (Please ignore the dirty rubber mat - you just can't get the Kosovan's these days!)

Results below, all comments good or bad welcome...

Very nice. Unusual door sill strips, they normally angle over the metal part.

I've been looking at the door sill plates myself. They look superb.
Are they Genuine ones or copy's ???

Looks good

Looking good, you need LED interior lights now, they make a huge difference

Thanks folks, yes, Minolta mad, all genuine LR bits courtesy of Dan at Duckworth's.....rear latch finisher from Matford Land Rover in Exeter.

Job only took an hour all round, the biggest ball-ache was peeling the backing tape off the adhesive strips...a right trauma if you've got big old sausage fingers like I have.

They are the rear passenger sill plates, they fit on the corners by the base of the seat leading into the rear footwell. Hope that helps.

They add weight to the argument I guess.

Looks good
Approx how much are the door sill plates from Dan?
On the subject of Bling can somebody tell me the difference between earlier car door handles and 2011facelift door handles, I want to make sure that I buy the correct handles. My car is 2010 and there seems to be a suggestion that some 2011 bits (includes door mirrors) were fitted to 2010 cars (ie there wasnt a clean changeover point). 2010GS Auto ex Celeb, Santorini Black, 2011 facelift , spoiler, spats, mudflaps, LED footwell lamps, Witter detach,

If you have an Austin J40 or Pathfinder Pedal Car looking for a new home pls PM me.

Best thing to do would be to drop Dan a PM....he'll look after you and his advice is free as well  Foraging near Gaydon....

I looked on the Duckworths site but I couldn't find them. Would quite like them for myself.

You can get the sills from ebay but they ship from China

Where did you get the rear sill plate that you can view from from the outside. It looks great I would like to get one.

Thanks
