Door sill: how to choose and buy?

Sooner or later, every second car owner thinks about changing the appearance of a car. Moreover, both the owners of Mercedes and the owners of budget cars are striving to improve the exterior through tuning. Therefore, let’s discuss the most popular tuning part - door sills.

Why do you need door sills?

1. For aesthetics. In most cars, including Mercedes, plastic thresholds are installed at the factory, which quickly deteriorate and do not carry any decorative functions at all, standing out sharply in the interior of the car. Therefore, one of the best ways to decorate a car is chrome tuning packages, including chrome door sills with the car brand logo applied.
2. For protection. In addition to their aesthetic value, they have protective functions and protect the space under the door from scuffs, scratches and other damage. In addition, with their help, you can hide such defects as dents, chips of paintwork (although, in the presence of such shortcomings, we advise you to immediately treat the mounting surface with an anti-corrosion compound).

What should they be?

If you do not want to change this part every three months, then it is advisable to purchase products made of stainless steel grade 314, which will not crack from impact, will not rot or rust after the first winter. Such chrome bags do not deform and do not allow moisture to pass through. But even if something happens to them, it will still be much cheaper to replace the linings than the factory thresholds.

What to look for when choosing?

1. For the manufacturer - in the best way in the world market, linings for Mercedes and other car brands from the Turkish company Omsa have proven themselves. All tuning accessories are made from 314 steel, have a double chrome finish and a deep polish for a mirror finish. The assortment also includes chrome bags made of impact-resistant plastic, as well as smooth products, corrugated, with or without a logo.
2. For material - as we have already said, it is better to choose steel 314, products from which will not crack during operation and will not rust.
3. Coating - each manufacturer uses its own technology for applying chrome to the surface of the linings. And yet, the leader in the quality of the coating is again the Omsa company with its "double chrome", which is resistant to any external factors, does not fade and does not change color even when in contact with aggressive media (salt, solvents).
