Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
I'm sure many of you will recognise Mels MR2 from the summer shows. In preparation for this years shows he's had some new sills fitted. He tried getting some from Mr T but £900 per side is a joke so he then decided to try the mk1 astra sills as used by another IMOC member. The bodyshop he uses "Viking coachworks" were given the car along with the astra sills and were left to do their magic The next day Mel received a call from the bodyshop telling him the Astra sills were now in the bin and that they'd be custom making they're own sills Well I let the pictures I took of Mel's car speak for themselves, they done an amazing job
My wife had a full pro respray on her MR2. Sills were replaced and they used Ford KA Sills, which were apparantly damm near the exact same as MR2 sills, but were £25 the pair

My local Toyota quoted me £85 each>? Brian
Aren't those ones for the middle section of the sill, directly under the door.
As I believe the part that rots is part of the rear wing, so that will cost a fortune from Toyota.
Buy three, one for each side, and a third (either hand).
Cut the center section out of the third, cut that section in two, and use it to extend the rear section of the first two sills so that they can now replace the full length of each sill...
Thats my plan - will tell you how it goes
