OK this is hard to describe.

The plastic black sill mould just below the drivers side door of my Vitara is up the shit & needs replacing. So I called around some places & found one but they tell me it comes in 3 sections & from looking at the sill mould from a distance it appears like it does. However, on closer inspection (under the car) it resembles (to me) to be one whole long piece bolted at either end with some plastic clips in the middle.

So my question is, are these people correct in saying there are 3 pieces?

Yes exactly like mine, but is it infact one piece or 3?

Maybe I should just piss off the shitty sill moulds & get side steps instead....

Right OK thanks!

If that's the case then, I only need 2 pieces.

I bashed my sil a week or two ago 4x4ing, went around yesterday to get a few quotes to fix it, and ppl quoted me any where from 1600, to 700. But what im wondering is, could i just put some side steps on it and not even worry about the sill ???
