These thresholds look very cool. Take a look for yourself, although the photo does not convey all the impressiveness. By the way, the company has a video about installing their thresholds on Vesta SV Cross.
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.
Which overlays to choose?
Before you go to a store or order a product online, you need to decide on the material. Door sills for Lada Vesta are presented in 2 versions:
- Stainless steel;
- Plastic.
The overlay may contain not only the inscription “Vesta”, but also a drawing.
Stainless steel
Products made from this metal certainly look harmonious and attractive. The metallic sheen that stands out against the background of the threshold immediately attracts attention. And the Vesta inscription on it only adds chic. In addition, stainless steel resists impacts much better than plastic, which is very important if a representative of the fair sex is riding in the passenger seat. After all, their love for stilettos and heels is well known, but Vesta’s thresholds suffer first of all from such shoes.
However, there are also disadvantages. Although stainless steel is not afraid of corrosion, dirt on the shiny metal of the linings is immediately visible, so they will always have to be kept clean and wiped. Such troubles can become boring over time. And shoe scratches are visible much better on metal than on plastic. Consequently, steel linings will have to be replaced more often.

Plastic
The pads are almost always made of black plastic. Their main advantage is that they cover a larger surface of the threshold, compared to metal ones. Damage and dirt on them are also not so noticeable. This means that if your first priority is not appearance, but functionality, then feel free to buy plastic products. In addition, they are noticeably cheaper.
Option with plastic lining.
How to install the overlay - instructions
Self-installation of protective products does not require knowledge or skills; the procedure itself is simple.
All protective products have 2-sided tape on the inside, which is necessary for fixation.
First, you need to thoroughly clean the metal surface of the threshold from dust contamination. It is recommended to degrease the surface with anti-silicone. Remove the protective film from the tape and carefully secure the cover. Your goal is to preserve the thresholds from damage, then use simple overlays. And for tuning it is better to use spectacular metal products with engraving.

You can buy overlays directly from the dealer. The salons sell metal products. However, many are confused by the price, which exceeds 3,000 rubles. Few people want to give such an amount, so most people prefer non-original elements.

Which thresholds are better and is it worth installing them?
Each driver decides for himself whether to install additional thresholds or overlays on a Lada Vesta car. We can definitely say that they really protect this part of the body from damage, but it is better to treat the surface under the linings with an anti-corrosion compound so that the moisture accumulating under them does not damage the coating.
The best tuning option would be a metal footrest, which looks stylish and provides the best protection and comfort. Such a threshold costs much more than conventional linings. Therefore, most drivers still choose chrome parts, which are very easy to attach with double-sided tape, and which also provide good protection.
