Nello Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 What optional extras has anyone added or fitted to their Delta's?I've watched a couple of ebay auctions for the Delta Illuminated Sills but cannot justify spending near £100 on what is effectively two lights!Anyone else got them and can post a photo?

0 Nello Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 Sorry - no response from the seller I got the stripes from and it seems he does not appear on ebay as a seller anymore....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nello Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Finally got around to wiring in my illuminated Sills. I'll post a photo at night at the weekend but IMO they look terrific!As mentioned previously they are a bit of a pain to fit but look great at night now. Utilises the power off the Courtesy light feed in the centre of the roof - as such they dim in and out like the light does. Defo worth sourcing a bargain priced dealer clearout kit off ebay if you ask me.......... Edited March 19, 2015 by Nello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MikeyRules Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Lol you and you're illuminated sills! As they say... life's better with pictures so we'll hold judgement until we see them I saw on eBay a set of Lancia Delta puddle lights that project the Lancia logo onto the pavement when you open the door! Was tempted... well for about one second! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nello Posted March 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I saw them as well Mike! Seriously the Sills are great - You know you want a pair Mike!!! Edited March 19, 2015 by Nello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rossocorsa Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well in the end I bought a set of illuminated sills hope I don't regret it! I just couldn't resist the rarity value of such an expensive piece of nonsense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MikeyRules Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) I'm really desperate to find the normal sills with Lancia on... Searches still aren't throwing up any positive results... I bloody hate that Chrysler badge staring at me like an ugly spot when I open the door!! Any reply from your sticker man Neil? Oh nearly forgot to mention: Does anybody else's temp displays differ? My climate control unit is usually half a degree different from the one in the binnacle!?

0 Rossocorsa Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 £42 including shipping also got boot luggage net for a fiver and the stainless boot edge protectors for a ,perhaps expensive, twenty quid. These are shall we say a huge reduction on list price which was always plain nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 MikeyRules Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm seriously thinking to order proper lancia sill trims but they ain't cheapYes I'd like the proper ones ideally.

What does that look like?I will probably never use the boot net but for a fiver .... Just in case! The protectors fit over the edge of the boot rim either side of the latch does that make sense?

0 Rossocorsa Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yes I'd like the proper ones ideally. So what are the part numbers and what sort of price were they?About 50 euros each that's just for the metal strip, they are handed because the lance points forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MikeyRules Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 About 50 euros each that's just for the metal strip, they are handed because the lance points forwardsSo about £74 at current exchange rates.... Did you manage to get a part number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nello Posted March 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Good work Gents - I had my eye on those as well but as you say not sure I would ever use things like the net - My boot looks like a sale in Sports Direct currently..........................The sills look terrific Rosso when done. I used a drill and coping saw to cut the holes out. Theres also not much room in the loom for the electrical connectors be be joined in the roof - the connectors themselves don't 'bite' much in to the wiring so I ended up splicing open the wire plastic to assist getting a connection. And my temp gauges are exactly the same Mike - Dash is usually always 0.5 of a degree higher than the temp on the A/C panel. Not sure why they needed two - I would have preferred a centrally viewable clock. Edited March 26, 2015 by Nello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stuartmunn Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 The clock on the Delta is rubbish I must agree... maybe I'll get one from a Maserati ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rossocorsa Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 The temp display difference is surely just because the main instruments and sat nav only show whole numbers whereas the climate display has half degree steps so you could have 12.5 on the climate and 13 on the others but this can just as likely be 13 on all, that's how it works on mine anyway. My unnecessary accessories arrived today, the boot net seems a lot better designed than I expected so will see when I've fitted it, the boot edge protectors are as expected simply two pieces of pressed stainless steel, the illuminated sill trims do actually look really nice but look a pain to fit time will tell! The list prices of these accessories is nuts! Including vat the net is £62.66, boot protectors £102.85 and the illuminated sill trims £298.28 no wonder no one ever bought them......even at the £67 all in I paid they don't seem cheap!

0 Rossocorsa Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 where did you get the boot net ? I was thinking of getting one to stop my bottles of champagne rolling about in the boot ...they only had one, in my case its more for stopping toolboxes, cans of oil and misc lancia beta parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nello Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 They are always popping up on ebay Stuart - Let me know if you want any tips for the sills Rosso - look great once done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rossocorsa Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I would have had a go at the sills this week but rain stopped play! I did fit the boot protectors and net, unfortunately one of the protectors didn't fit/stick too well might need to refit it. Whilst realising that there is a tooling cost I can't work out why the list price of these accessories was so high even the illuminated sill covers aren't complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nello Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The sills are crazy money from the dealers Rosso agreed though its the same for all varieties across the Fiat range for them for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Nello
What optional extras has anyone added or fitted to their Delta's?
I've watched a couple of ebay auctions for the Delta Illuminated Sills but cannot justify spending near £100 on what is effectively two lights!
Anyone else got them and can post a photo?

I did mention some time ago on one of the threads that that theres a slight variation in some sections of the dash between LHD and RHD. I think it was when we were going on about the gear-knob. Viewed

where did you get the boot net ? I was thinking of getting one to stop my bottles of champagne rolling about in the boot ...

Yeah well it will take an hour or so I suppose but as they really aren't that essential they are lots on my priority list, next job to run the VX engine again for longer and try to get it vaguely set
