Hi Everyone,

just pondering whether to get scuff plates are they worth it? I have wondered how people have scuffed the bottom of the car (where plates sit).

    Because they look so nice and shiny they make you more careful when getting in and out so both sill and plate stay nice so actually they work very well.

    I got the cheapo Chinese ones for my gf's 5 door and they actually fit perfect and have fiesta written on them in the correct way and were only £23, for the rear 2 doors I recommend standing on them and then bouncing on them a bit as they come straight but the rear doors have a slight curve where they go

    Definitely worth it, moved mine from my Zetec to the Titanium and you could see the damage that was underneath from people getting in and out before they were added!

    That's why I got them on mine as even with only 4,300 miles on the clock when I got it,there was already lots of scratches from last people who can't lift their feet :-/
