I mean the aluminium kick plate that screws onto the top of the sills for show.
Trying to find one in Year One cataog and none of my searches come out?

Why can't they speak proper English

Rocker, hood, fanny, pants, humor, trunk, aaaagh

Rocker panel covers or plates

I thought they were rocker covers & the things you bolt to your heads are valve covers.
Wings are fenders
Fenders are bumpers

2 countries separated by a common language.

yeah that true , call them rockers ,
going off the subject a little , yet when you could order M25 mouldings on a charger they were actually called wide sill mouldings

so they used the word Sill
