What is the difference between these and 4 door ones?

Different shape as you only have one door and a quarter panel rather than two doors.

Dirt cheap for parts that hard to source.  :o

The price has quickly shot up on these.

I would not pay much more than a ton for them thats for sure !
After all you can get 4 door sills for half that and easily make them fit the 2 door

I bought 3 for 35 Euros.

When?

I also bought 2 for 10 Euros apiece, 3 years ago. And I searched for 3 years before finding any. These parts are rare and hard to find. If someone really wants them and is neither able nor willing to adapt 4door sills, he will pay the price and be happy.

4door sills also are not available at your local dealer, I'm afraid. And having them sent from Turkey costs an arm and a leg because they are bulky.

I got a set a few months ago.
I agree they are rare but which 2 door 131 part is not rare now ??
All im saying is in my view i would maybe stretch to ?100 for them as they are rare fair enough, but much past a ton is pushing it unless u were right in the middle of a renovation stuck & needed them straight away.
If some one has the money & really wants them they will pay ?200 im sure.

See, 10 years ago. Parts and whole cars were much cheaper then - I bought my car in 2003 for 500 Euros  8)

Still, i can't find myself in the price asked for these sills offered. But if one needs them very badly i can understand the bidding.

if 4door ones are so easy to get, why cant i find any? i must have the non genuine type with the end pieces and the front wing mounts incorporated. 
                     
                          anybody???????

they are listed on ebay by a motor factor but when you buy them you get an email saying they are not availible and a refund yet they remain listed ??? :'( :'( ???

There was at least 2-3 sets of 131 4 door sills on UK ebay last year.
I also saw one set of 4 door sill on this site not that long ago ! and there was a 4 door set for sale on the Irish forum about 4 months ago.
So the 4 door sills are not that (rare)
One of the Irish forum members bought an original set of 2 door sills a month or 2 ago on (ebay.it) also i bought my original 2 door sills from this site 3-4 months ago from a member who advertised them on this site.

They are not as rare as you think !

The Hadrian panels ones do but they may be no longer available. I think they have a website.

Showing on their website www.hadriancarpanels.com (http://www.hadriancarpanels.com)

But you would have to do an enquiry to see if they have any stock. You may already have done this of course.....

been there, done that, n/l/a since end of 2008. my only chance is some body having a pair squirrelled away somewhere.

I see what you mean now Strada.
You either bid on these and modify, or have a bit more paicence put up a wanted add and wait and see because as i said they are rare but there are some out there still.
