I'm looking for the two door sill plates for a Fiat Dino Spider..
Does anyone have any for sale or know where to get them?

Is there anything wrong with the two you have , besides appearance?
If it’s just appearance take them to a chrome plating shop and have them electropolished.
They will come back like new, I had the SS trim strips from the sills done. Not a single ripple left and gleaming.

but I have 2 Fiat Dino Spider 2000 and only one pair of sill plates..

and I am a regular customer at a local electroplating company and have had most of the metal parts of my Dino either yellow galvanized or re-chromed

Hi Agnatus
Hopefully somone can help on the strips.
I have a question regarding the colour of the cad plating. My 2.0 Spider is # 665. All the plating is the silver colour. Do or dies anyone else know when they started using the gold cad plating

I believe all unpainted metal parts on the vehicle were delivered from the factory with a silver (light blue) galvanized coating...
However, it has become common practice for restorations to generally galvanize metal parts yellow... you probably mean gold CAD plating...

For example, I had my sandblasted metal parts yellow galvanized by a local company...
