Sill Covers: Anyone Found a Good Mounting Hack?

[maritimeblue911]

The lower sill covers on my S2 Cabriolet had been bonded on, which is a shame as the original mounting bolts underneath the car are still perfectly usable. Unfortunately, it’s the sill covers themselves that have seen better days, and since they’re no longer available, replacing them is not an option. I can see two screw holes where the tabs would have been, suggesting that someone previously fitted clips of some sort to secure them.

I’d much rather go down that route (or something similar) than rely on adhesive again. Has anyone come up with a solid, reversible solution I could replicate?

They are still available
and I have a full set brand new never installed that are up for sale

The Cabriolet's covers are not the same as the coupe.. Apparently these have not been available since 2014.

Not sure if it is the answer you want but I removed mine about 17 years ago and don't miss them. They were holding all sorts of crap against the bottom of the sill. They don't really enhance the looks as far as I'm concerned (not like the 968 covers).

They are a part of what sets the turbo and S2 apart from lesser 944's.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. I like them.

I still fancy fitting one of those early Leon Cupra front splitters, NLA from SEAT apparently though.

I've just bought the Mrs a Leon FR, white with black splitter, side skirts and diffuser. Black wheels, looks nice. Pick it up Friday, will post a pic, see if its the same splitter.

Thanks, though I think it might have be an early Cupra splitter that everyone was using.

It was. I have one in the garage somewhere, managed to fit it between the bumper and batwing. You can have it for free but I can’t be bothered attempting to post it!

Cheers, but you're 200 miles north from me .

I own both a Cab and a coupe and I don't think they are very different - mine are about 10 miles apart or I would have a close up comparison.

Will either car ever be put back on the road again?

Having looked at pictures online, I think you are right, except for these indentations where the mounting points are - I guess with the cab having an extra floor, these must be required to access the bolts.
