Default Sills

Just wondering if people can post up pics of there sills please?

Viewed another escos last night and led on the floor next to the side skirts and had a look under and there was rust along the sills!! Is this common as these cars are a good 12 years old now? There was no rust anywhere else, just on the sills!!

Any comments and pics would be great.

yes they do tend 2 rust along the sill possibly only surface rust as theres fook all paint along them from new or rust treatment reasonably cheap fix if its only surface rust m8 worse thing is getting the new clips 2 hold the skirts on if they break, have also seen them with gapping holes in the sills aswell ask the bloke if you could pop the bottom bolts off skirt and investigate properly m8

a real shame that mate. autotrader
You'd think with the amount of people saying they want an escoss it would have gone straight away

Just put up a sold post, you're bound to get loads of folk asking if its still for sale lol
