Land Rover Discovery 3 heavy duty sill guard

by Olly 7. August 2009 10:51
In line with our new range of Discovery 3 accessories, we proudly present our heavy duty sill guards. Again, designed to be functional yet discreet, you can hardly tell when the new guards are even fitted. Made from 3mm steel, galvanized and then powder coated, the guards replace the standard plastic sill trim bolting into existing holes for ease of fitment.

The design process started by scanning in the profile of the Discovery 3 shell to make sure we could guarantee the best fit possible. From there we wanted a strong box section which was disctreet and followed the chisled, angular lines of the car. Before we even started fabricating anything, we simulated dropping the full weight of the car onto a point load on just one sill. Once we were happy they were heavy duty enough to be deemed heavy duty it was off to our Baileigh machinery to start fabricating.

By designing the guard to sit at an angle it not only looks good on the car, but it also sits with the strongest part (the corner) facing the ground. The design also allows exeptional side protection as well, with a natural tendancy to force obstacles away from the car - all without being bulky. With a tapered front sitting over the standard plastic trim, and tabs to bolt into the rear arch liner - maximum protection is achieved.

We're just putting them through their paces in the Alpes at the moment, ready to sign them off with a lifetime warranty.
