Went to the body shop, Grove Coachworks. All I hear is good things about them and have seen some of their work including a rather mint 25 aniversary Mini in Burgandy.
Anyway, took the XR3i to get the dodgey sill looked at after it nearly colapsed when I jacked it up.
Looks like the sill from about two inches infront of the door back to the arch will need removing along with part of the inner arch as its only underseal and I said why not do the arch lip while he was at it cus thats on the way out too.
This is the quote I got....
£630 is a bit mutch.... don't you think?
