What Are The Best Sill Plates?

Featured Replies

Hi. As the title suggests, what are the best sill plates available for a Ford Fiesta mk7.5 - 5door?

I've been doing a bit of research and read a few threads, but can't seem to come to a conclusion...

I've got a £50 Amazon gift card I wouldn't mind using...

I've seen these. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TO9D6PO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=17RBOA4FJ8VYO&coliid=I2LO1382KKM6WF

Also has anyone had any issues with sill plates - aftermarket or not?

Thanks in advance. Cookey.



I had the genuine Ford ones on my Fiesta, no issues with them.

You just have to be mindful the adhesive is usually designed for 15 deg C or higher, so you'll want to heat the sills and plates up with a hair dryer or something first.

I had Lockwood ones on my old MK7 Fiesta. They were really good and looked amazing.

Well I've got a fiesta Zetec. So, not looking for Zetec S plates, they look great on your car though bwoody.

And Jason, just fiesta plates will do. Or even plain.

Just some that are good quality won't rust underneath and look the part

Different options on the Lockwood site, not just the S ones - http://www.lockwoodinternational.co.uk/sill-protectors/ford/fiesta/fiesta-2008-on-to-present.html

The link you sent me?

That's it

I would go for the Lockwood ones if you only want them plain or fiesta.

They just don't have a massive choice

I REALLY like these but the amazon link brings up some small picture without any real information (like a buggy page) :(.

They're the best ive seen for Fiesta though
