    strange i could swear we used to sell them at the motorfactor i worked at for 10 years.

    they are part of the body but you cut them off and weld new ones on. just like all the cars that have welded on wings, they also get cut off and new ones welded on..

    if your going to offer advice, make sure you get your facts right

    if i could post links i would have shown you 4 shops where the sills are avaliable

    You probably did. As I said they used to be a common feature of car design many years ago.
    Nowadays the modern design of car manufacture is for a single bodyside panel - have a look ;)

    I'm not saying pre-formed over panels are not available to help repair a vehicle (such as patman99 later suggests), but you won't find may cars made today with originally produced with sill panels. Certainly the Nissan Almera doesn't have them.

    Wings are still usually a separate welded panel that make up part of the overall front end assy.

    Quite ;)
