Scuff plates

I would like to install scuff plates, the sills get scratched easily. Any suggestions other than the general ones you find on Ebay? If there are original Volvo 480 accessories knocking about I am all ears :)

I am sure they will be made of unobtainium though.

Depends what you want/need. I have the nice ones on the 480, previous one even had the garage/dealer name on them!

for the C30 I used a section of 2" wide black carpet repair tape, much easier to find than the originals, and dare I say a cheaper option :-)

It stops the worst of the scuffs until you get 'real' article (if you ever find them) :wink:

I will take some measurements hopefully over the week end. Unfortunately at the moment I am roped into a spot of gardening.

At least I have made room in the garage so Skip now sleeps protected from the elements. It was fun to re arrange everything especially since it only fits backwards, protecting foam at the back on the workbench's foot and on the side wall for the door.
