Galaxy Cil Damage

[Chard1966]

Now I own a 04 Galaxy TDI Zetec I am a bit of a muppit ? ,
I have noticed that most Galaxy's new or old have suffered the dredded tyre fitters mark (jacking directly on the cil lips distroying them.
My sisters Galaxy was damaged,
Wile being repaired she was given a 56 plate Sharan,
I checked this out and found it to have some very nice Cil Covers.
Talking to my local Ford dealer these covers are not available,
I took the reg no of the Sharan to VW and have now got the part no's these were ordered.
Well the first cil was fitted, to my supprise all the holes were already there about 30 mins,the second cil took 10 mins.
This is probebly the best mod you can do to your Galaxy.THEY LOOK THE DOGS

Do they fit Mk1 and Mk2?

[Chard1966]

Have taken a few pics for you all to see Edited September 27, 2007 by Chard1966

[mumof4]

Ahh...so they go all along the whole of the cill?..not just at the jacking points??..or is that my eyesight failing again..

[adrianf.]

So are they to prevent a damaged sill or just to cover a damaged one up ???

[mumof4]

either or i would expect.They do look good though..a lot better than a crushed rusting cill.

Would front mud flaps still fit? Edited September 27, 2007 by AndeeeH

[Chard1966]

The mudflaps (front) will not fit.
Have taken a picture with the outline if the sill cover

[VeeDub Nutter]

did you get time to see if they would fit a mk1?
they look really cool, just what i'm looking for.

Wow, I'm getting some ! They look great and very neat, how do they attach, do you need to drill holes in the body work ? Maybe you could even take a pic of the instructions please.... Edited June 22, 2008 by jkspoff

You can get proper mudflaps which fit around the Sillcover as well

[jkspoff]

Not bought any yet, but plan to, I saw a Sharan with them fitted yesterday (are they now fitted as standard) and they looked a lot better than the usual sills.

[austin]

Iths makes you wonder why ford dont do them,when you planning on doing them? could you post back on how much its cost you and how easy the fit was.
cheers

an old post;

 

today I fitted a pair of sharan sill kits I bought from mirez, ive had them a few weeks but got up early today as part of a planned car day !

 

no instructions so it was all guess work, took about 4 hours on my back with one wheel jacked up at a time, cant believe how much damage was done by the r-soles at the insurance -approved bodyshop !!!  the front drivers side has been pushed up about half an inch.......................so the fixing frame needed work to get it to fit so the outer cover would click on.

 

I also cut the front mudflaps to fit back on again so the car looks really well now !!!

 

next week I am going to fit a pair of aftermarket fog lights to the bumper blanks, as I have had a boxed pair in the garage since before I even got the car. !!
