The company appear to be selling other stuff for the coupe as well confused

If you buy anything, and it fits inside a coupe with two people in the front, you have till the end of next week to deliver them to me... I'll be dropping the car off at Joes. After that, you'll have to wait until the Carlisle meet.

pm me if you need my address.

Neil

p.s. or looking at their delivery times, I could perhaps collect. Don't know if they allow that though...

Hi Neil - I wasn't hinting at anything but thanks for the offer smile But rather what exactly are they offering as they have other stuff for the coupe on eBay? Are they panel parts etc?

As an aside I've just bought a sill from a UK supplier which I'll be getting delivered in a few weeks time for the grand total of £55 inc carriage shocked. The same part is available via Poland (I think) for £600 - go figure confused

Can't really help you there; my German's not that good. They're basically selling 'sheet metal' which isn't helpful, but I'd guess panel parts, given the name of the shop. Perhaps when they get the pictures up?

Indeed, I felt the same. Slow deliveries being the main complaint.

Yeah but slow delivery is not a massive issue imo - it's what they're offering and the quality is more important for the club as a whole smile

Is that a one off sill you've bought or have they got more? I've looked into getting them remanufactured but the people I've spoke to need a perfect example of a sill to be able to make a pattern from it. I couldn't find any and Joe wasn't aware of any either.

I may have just bought the last one as they are no longer in stock shocked When I get it I'll put up a pic but your thoughts are the same as mine ie getting them copied. I don't actually need it but was planning for the future and thought I'd grab it when I had the opportunity. Of course the company may start manufacturing more in due course hopefully smile

Can you tell me who you got it from? If they've got more I'd happily buy one or two - because I need them and to try and get them remanufactured so we can all benefit from them!

Sills also available here but out of stock at the moment: https://easyparts.online/fiat-coupe-1993-2000-1

Bought a pair a little while back, didn't take too long to arrive.

Unfortunately saying unavailable at the moment, but I've asked for notification if they get some more

I haven't had a proper look over them actually, thankfully my sills are mostly ok but they seem pretty good, a good starting point at least.

The only issue with them as I can see from the pics is that they're not folded in at the ends but that's not uncommon for replacement sills in general. I suppose you'd need to get a body shop to add the end folds confused

Ok here's pics of the sill and it looks decent enough and matches up to the folds against the original on the car. Measures 1.9m. As we know the most vulnerable area is at the rear which measures c 50cm to the door so one sill gets 3 x repair sections. Of course ideally you'd get further sills cut against this as a template to build up a stock for the future thumb

But having just checked they seem to be back in stock so grab your own shocked
