Re: wher to buy INNERSILLS

yep mine arnt too disasterous, but im putting new floors in and to be honest i may as well just go the whole hog and replace the inner sills too- at least it will look as it should and finish the job off nicely.
thanks guys

Re: paint codes

could well be nimbus grey. or strado silver. that has narrowed it down a bit.
