Types of internal linings
Vesta's threshold in the basic configuration requires protection. The choice of material depends on personal preferences and the appearance of the car.
Steel
Steel linings reliably protect the car and look stylish. The metallic design is more suitable for the Lada Cross, but the chrome shine of even the classic Vesta will give it a sporty appearance. Main characteristics of the product:
- A stylish and reliable item that will last for many years.
- Overhead fragments are produced with inscriptions or an engraved design.
- Installation is carried out using double-sided tape or special glue.
- Provides a high degree of protection against impacts, scratches and wear.
A steel part is often replaced not because it is broken, but because the lining loses its attractiveness. Cleaning and sanding will not help in this case.
The main disadvantage of steel is that dirt and abrasions are very visible.
Plastic
Plastic products are presented in the classic black version. For an additional fee, the element can be painted in the color of the car. The size of plastic accessories is larger than steel ones, they are wider and longer. Due to this, when opening the door, less dirt enters the interior. Dirt and scratches are not so visible, but this is where the advantages of plastic end. The replacement frequency is three times higher than that of steel.
Stainless steel thresholds
Lada Vesta thresholds made of metal, in our case it is stainless steel, will look stylish and reliable. They are all the same color, they differ only in the article number. An inscription or design is applied to them by engraving or embossing.
They are installed independently using 2-sided tape glued to the back side.
Metal thresholds better protect against impacts, scratches, and wear. Car sills are especially often damaged by heels, and stainless steel protection resists such damage well. Due to their advantages, metal accessories are more popular among Lada Vesta car owners. But they also have disadvantages: dirt, scratches, and abrasions are more visible on the metal; they must be constantly cleaned and polished. Over time, they will require replacement due to external unattractiveness.
Manufacturers of door sills and their prices
It is best to hold the product to the threshold before purchasing to make sure that it looks organic. Main manufacturers and prices:
- AvtoVAZ produces steel products. The appearance is emphasized by the “Vesta” engraving. The cost of the set is from 2800 rubles.
- Naperedok produces overhead fragments from steel with article number AISI 304. The inscription “Vesta” is provided. Price - 1800 rub.
- Russian Artel produces budget plastic elements. You can purchase them from an official dealer for 950 rubles.
- YarPlast also produces plastic linings, but at a reduced price tag - 650 rubles.
- Lada-Vesta-Shop offers stainless steel parts with the Vesta logo. The cost is 450 rubles. The price is reduced due to the fact that thin steel is used, only 0.4 mm.
The thickness of the steel affects the resistance to deflections and damage; it is better to choose parts thicker than 0.5 mm.
Possible options for thresholds on the Lada Vesta
- Metal linings
- Plastic covers
- Thresholds-steps
Metal linings, in addition to their protective function, serve as car decoration and a kind of tuning. On the Lada Vesta you can choose accessories with an engraved or embossed logo and even backlighting. It is better to buy thresholds made of stainless steel, as they are durable and not subject to corrosion.
They have shiny metal overlays and certain imperfections. Dirt and scratches are very visible on them, so to maintain an attractive appearance they need to be cleaned and polished periodically.
Plastic linings are affordable and provide good body protection. They do not look as beautiful as bright chrome elements, but they are much easier to care for. Good quality plastic linings can last for years, protecting metal elements from corrosion and mechanical damage.
Thresholds in the form of footrests are made of light but durable metal. Most often they are installed on tall SUVs, such as the Lada Vesta Cross. They perfectly complement the car's design, enhancing it visually. The running boards also increase the comfort of the vehicle by making it easier for passengers to get in and out of the vehicle. Such body elements are more expensive than simple linings, and they are more difficult to install.
Instructions for installing the trim
Included with the overhead devices is double-sided tape, which allows you to glue the element to the threshold yourself. Step-by-step algorithm of actions:
- The front mudguard is removed.
- The installation location is marked on the threshold.
- The surface is degreased.
- The protective film is removed from the tape. One side is glued to the overlay.
- The product is applied 2 mm below the edge radius and pressed forcefully for several seconds.
You can also use special glue. It processes the entire inside of the overhead device. After pressing, the remaining glue that has gone beyond the boundaries is removed with a rag.
Installation of suspended thresholds-steps
Installing thresholds on the Lada Vesta in the form of running boards is a much more labor-intensive process than gluing the trims. To do this you will need to perform the following manipulations:
- Pull out the plastic plugs on the bottom where the front brackets are attached;
- Insert mounting pins into the holes in the front part;
- Remove the standard fastening of the plastic threshold;
- Screw the front bracket to the installed studs;
- Remove the rear bracket plugs;
- Install cage nuts M10 and M8 into the holes;
- Secure the rear bracket to the installed nuts;
- Place the footrest on the brackets and fix it in the desired position.
Customer reviews about tuning Lada Vesta thresholds
You can help make a choice and choose one of the types of Vesta threshold tuning thanks to reviews from owners who have already installed this accessory on it.
| Positive | Negative |
| I thought for a long time about what would be the best thresholds to install. I settled on plastic ones - they show less dirt and are cheaper. I've been away for about a year, so far so good. Nothing cracked anywhere (vts company) | The chrome sills look nice, I agree with that. But if you remove the threshold from the car after several years of use, you can see how the coating has deteriorated due to the fact that a lot of dirt has accumulated under it and is constantly wet. |
| I bought branded door sills in the online store lada-vesta-shop.ru. They have the largest selection and normal prices. I chose chrome ones with Vesta inscription and LED backlighting. I installed it myself, everything is just held on with tape. They look cool! | I do not recommend buying plastic pads. Literally six months later, pieces began to break off from them. It’s better to take metal right away, they are more reliable. |
| Comfortable and practical plastic pads. I don’t need any special chic or shine, the main thing is that they protect me. I've had my Vesta for 2 years now, so far so good. | I ordered the thresholds on the Internet. I indicated the model, everything is as expected. Some short ones arrived, only 20 centimeters each. I decided not to glue them at all, not to embarrass myself. Maybe these linings are normal in a company store, but it’s better not to order from an unknown seller. |
| I ordered thresholds and moldings for the Lada Vesta in the online store. They arrived normal, as in the picture. Everything became neat, I’m especially pleased with the thresholds, they really add style | These thresholds keep disappearing for me. Moreover, one falls off (on the driver's side), and the second remains dead. I glued it back several times, but it still comes off (I degreased the threshold, everything is as it should be). So I go with one. |
