I need sills for my 1998 1.9 Z3, the originals are getting tatty so need to replace them. (If anyone has good ones, hint hint....)
I was wondering if they are available pre-painted? I rebuilt an accident-damaged Volvo S40 back around 2008 and when I bought a new bonnet and front bumper they were available pre-painted in the original colour and just bolted straight on - is this an unavailable option from BMW?
Best source of sills if I have to buy new - BMW themselves?
 
This was posted last month, but not painted. https://zroadster.org/threads/new-outer-sills.73663/post-917735

I bought mine from @spurs fan in a coupe and they were painted colour I wanted and in great condition.
Always worth an ask

Also there are GRP ones

 
They're different between widebody and non-wide. (Is that 'narrow body?)
GRP sills may appeal - up to a point - but anyone know the current BMW price, to compare? I'm not scared of the stuff, many Triumphs these days use replacement valences etc in GRP, but they're not 'original' so would need to have a definite bonus for me to take the plunge.

In my first link the post was about the price of sills from BMW
