I'm surprised you're struggling in your part of the world. I'm no expert but try this link: http://www.carpanels.co.uk/index_catalogues.htm
They supplied my over-sill panel through a Shrewsbury outfit called Border automotive, it cost about £35.

Good luck
Jim

Alan Schofield's has a good reputation, I've had a sill from him previously and it were OK.

I'm about to buy my first ever body panel... Do they vary much? VW/non-VW? What's the difference: accuracy of sizing, quality of metal?
