Kick-plates for lower door (not sills)

[plowna]

Haven't posted in a while. I'm a lurker by nature.

My previous 06 TDI got uh ... dunked in water by the mrs. It was written off.

The good news is am about to sign off on a 2nd hand 08 TDI Pacific.

I'd like to get some stainless kick plates made up for the lower part of front doors, it already has sill kick plates.

Mrs has a bad habit of kicking the doors open when she gets out, I'd like to try and protect our latest investment.

Anyone know of someone in Melb area or close by that might be able to get this sort of thing made up? Would a motor trimmers be able to make this sort of thing up?

If any one did that to my VW ,that would be the last time they got in the car,Whats wrong with your misses doesn't she respect the cars you own,
Just tell her to use her hand like the rest of us /

Yeah I'm not really thrilled about it. We went for a test drive in a new 2.0TDI golf & when we went to swap seats (so I could have a go) it was the first thing she did!!

Old habits die hards, bad habits die harder (still haven't given up the grog) so I figure I'll just wife-proof the doors instead.

Ron dennis's thoughts on kickplates on doors

"We went through some swing doors with kickplates. Ron regards kickplates as defeatist – an invitation for unreflective minions to abuse and contaminate fittings with steeltipped boots."

this is the same building where the soap pumps reverse so they don't spill soap
