Hi.

My sills are increasingly getting scratched.
The Passat Individual has these nice "running boards," but you can't tell from the brochure exactly where they are located.

Does anyone have one, or can someone get me some photos?
The test car from a year ago was a unique model, but I didn't pay attention to those details.

Okay, here's the translation:

Thank you.

I don't know what the f*ck it was.

Photos might not help, but perhaps a transparent protective film (like the kind used on car bumpers and fenders) that can be cut to size and applied would be useful?

Sure.

"I can still slap on some 3M film if I want to."

I was just thinking, since there are already the nice "i" parts...
And before I spend a fortune on these, I want to know if they actually do anything – specifically, if they properly cover the sills.

Okay,

Since those things cost a lot of money, I continued searching... and I found something.

Small, dirt-encrusted shoes can still rub against the middle edge... not a great design, VW Individual icon_confused.gif.
