G'day, just wondering if anyone has a photo of the sill that is under the front guards as I'm trying to re shape it and would love a guide thanks

Don't be to hung up on the original shape.
I suggest you shape it so that there is at least a 5mm gap between the sill cap and the guard.
That will give heaps of space to allow debris to be flushed out.

This page on my thread is how I did my sills. I just shaped them the way I wanted into the A pillar piece (which i replaced also).

Mine works very well.
