Are you confusing sills with INNER sills???
I've had 4 Williams' and only one of them had rusty inner sills. The other three had scabby arches as per usual.
I've had around 8 valvers and apart from my current one, all had rusty inner sills. Granted some were not 'that' major, but two were...
And if someone is towing you using a solid bar, when the person towing brakes, the bar is going straight through your front grill and taking anything else out behind it!
They're pointless and s**t.
From a detailers point of view, you're correct.
However, 80% of the population wouldn't be able to tell the difference over time id imagine.
By that I mean that they wouldn't be able to see their paint getting royally fucked bit by bit every time they go!
I wish i'd taken pictures of my grey one before I weighed it in.
It looked mint from the outside, not a mark on it. Even the sills looked original! Got it on a ramp and it was held together with silicon sealer/filler and about 3 layers of stonechip paint. You could stab holes all the way down...
Rear arches aren't really a worry, they're easily sorted.
You need to get underneath the car and check the inner and outer sills. Inner sills can't be seen until you get underneath and are both costly and labour intensive to repair.

If you clean the wheels off the car, i'll get you some descaling acid. Its the best stuff you'll EVER use. £17 for 5 litres and can be diluted. You just don't want to be cleaning them on the car because it makes calipers and discs really manky after lots of use.
just put a rubber between the hanger and the bracket if you want to stop it vibrating cheaply.
If you want to do it properly, don't buy pattern parts, they're crap!
You mean you'd rather have the golf than a Megane with its comedy yellow seatbelts, rock hard chairs and plastic bolt on wheel arch extensions?? How very dare you...
And yet they'll still sell by the bucket load. Because they're built well, reliable, have good residuals and don't look like a 17 year old chavs wet dream.
I painted mine (On my cup I just sold) with satin black rattle can. Looked brilliant afterwards!
I removed the top inlet first so I could get to more of it as I painted it.
