Signum Chrome Sill Strips

[chrisf70]

Do all Signum's have front Chrome Still Strips? Looking through some old brochures and it looks like they are specified as standard on every year. But I don't have them on my 0454 Design

Got 'em on my 03 Elite and I thought it was a standard thing on all Signums - so not sure how you haven't got them.

Any evidence of a set ever being there?

I'll have a proper look tonight to see if there is any evidence of them ever being there. Are they easy to come by to retro fit, and do they say Signum in them or are they just plain?

mines a 54 Design and it does have them

I would expect they are a part available from Vx so should be exactly the same i.e. with the Signum text on them. I couldn't even guess what price they may be though.

So that's making yours definitely an oddity. I wonder if they have been taken off at some point by a previous owner - can't think why though. Repair/respray of any sort? Sorry, not trying to get you worried but that's the first thing that springs tomind.

I know what you mean, but the car is in very good condition and came from NetworkQ with very few miles on it for its age (22k). I know that doesn't guarantee anything! I was wondering if they have got scuffed up and taken off maybe.

My 06 signum never came with sill plates. But i fitted Irmscher one's.

Possible, although you'd have to try hard to scuff them. The ones on my 03 are still looking in good shape.

There is possibly one answer to this. It could be that around the time of the 54 plate they stopped dong the sill plates on the Signum? Yours could've been made just after that point whilst marly's was made just before, which would also explain why shan's didn't have any.

What we need is an 05 Signum owner to report whether they have them or not - 'cos if they do then I'm stumped! lol

I think mine is the 05 model year, as it's got the pre-facelift front end but the full canbus steering wheel and the CD70 sat nav. So it could be the first of the last, if you get what I mean!!
