And, are the black sills in a satin finish?

I'm getting some work done on the sills and would like them finished in black as I always thought the Cowley cars looked better proportioned somehow

If anyone has any close-up pictures of the black sills and the finish between the sill and the door jambs, I'd love to see them.

Thanks,
Karl.
Hello Karl,

My Cowley sills are uniformly black up to the chrome rod just below the doors but I can't take any picture at the moment my phone being charging.

Regards,

Arnaud
