Door Sill Protectors for 124

Has anyone fitted these to their 124 Spider? I can see they are going to get quite marked after time and it would be nice to cover the target area, preferably with an Abarth logo. Where can I get a couple?

There seem to be quite a few owners complaining that they catch the sill when entering- and these are the careful ones! The passenger will not usually take such care.

Exactly! I notice the new MX5 has some aftermarket protectors but I can't find any with an Abarth logo. I've sent for some cheapos from China which are black with a minimal red stripe and I'll report back when they arrive. They only protect the plastic bit.

Well they've arrived and they look a bit naff. I might consider using them further down the line if the scuffing on the sills gets worse and if no other protector is available. They are self adhesive strips which are claimed to be carbon fibre (!) . The Mazda-type option is far better of course as it sits in the groove in the sill but unfortunately I cannot find an Abarth (or even just plain) equivalent. Couldn't of course contemplate using a Mazda one!

They look like the ones you pit on the metal bits not the plastic bit ive seen on you tube guys using a heat gun that gets rid of all the marks from the plastic but I haven't had the guts to give it a try .
